I've posted a newer version of report_mirror which might interest you.
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/mirrormanager/?p=mirrormanager;a=blob_plain;f=client/report_mirror;hb=HEAD
This version is faster in 2 ways:
1) it eliminates the stat() calls on every file in your mirror, which
were slow and added to your system's disk I/O load.
2) it no longer uploads stat() data for each file to the MM database.
It now only uploads a list of directories, which is much less
data. This should reduce the Proxy Error timeouts we've seen too,
as now it uploads only a few hundred bytes of data.
Behavior on the back end MM database is unchanged. In reality, it
was mostly ignoring the per-file stat() data anyhow.
If you hadn't been running report_mirror after each rsync run, because
it was too slow, please try with this new version.
Thanks,
Matt
