Re: nfs for lan for DVD

[bbennet <bbennet@mb.sympatico.ca>]

Hello to the list.  A DVD goes too slow for ftp on jigdo.

Maybe dump the list file to ftp first and then jigdo it?
Sort of a pik/jigdo combo?

This is on a working Debian woody machine that makes debian-cd
just fine.
I have switched to a Debian woody machine with 
linux 2.4.18

ftp slow:
local ftp gets 10 files and 
then makes a 4.6 gigabyte DVD tmp file
then the DVD tmp file disappears
Then it gets 10 more files.
Then it makes another 4.6 gigabyte DVD tmp file.

This is slowwwwww.

8858 file / 10 = 885 huge DVD files to make

I now will use the kernel-nfs-server.
I have switched to an nfs mount of the mirror
and told jigdo to scan it as if it is 
an existing image or mounted CD.

The work continues much much faster.

Somebody needed to know...

Cheers, Bill Bennet
