Procedure to be inserted into the official Mandriva Mirrors list
Contents |
If you have a large internet connection (10 MBit or more) and available disk space (200 GB or more), you can become an official Mandriva Mirror.
Space needed
The whole Mandriva repository weights about 400 GB, distributed between the development branch (/devel), the official branch (/official) and the old branch (/old). See MirrorStructure for more information.
- 175 GB /devel
- 150 GB /official
- 50 GB /old
Of course you can choose to only mirror part of the structure. Preferably, mirror /official and /devel.
Rsync command
The following command will help you set up an initial full mirror.
