A lot of drpms are not hardlinked even within development/16/ even though permissions appear identical.  E.g.,

ls -ldin  ./i386/os/drpms/GMT-doc-4.5.6-2.fc16_4.5.7-1.fc16.noarch.drpm ./x86_64/os/drpms/GMT-doc-4.5.6-2.fc16_4.5.7-1.fc16.noarch.drpm

My linking utility reports 2,862 links could be created saving 1263496 blocks (616.9 MB).


As an internal private mirror, I'm hoping the torrent files for the isos will appear on the server soon with "expected" URL's (without the web page being updated) so I can get those files populated on my server and not have to rsync them on release days.

In the past I've noticed (and reported here) the timestamps on the bittorrent isos were different from the  rsync servers, which caused extra rsync effort...hopefully that's been fixed too.

Thanks to Release Engineering!
