...working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at bsdiff and bspatch and the mem requirements on my 20 gig file make that solution rather not acceptable. Anyone know a better solution to accomplish this? Thanks! jlc

...say that they agreed and that Colin accepted. Colin has been a FreeBSD committer since January 2004, and has been an energetic member of the FreeBSD Security Team for most of that time. He is well-known for his software creations "FreeBSD Update", "portsnap", and "bsdiff"; as well as his paper published earlier this year, "Cache Missing for Fun and Profit" <URL:http:// www.daemonology.net/papers/htt.pdf>. I have no doubt that he will do an outstanding job fulfilling the FreeBSD Security Officer's charter. Thanks for everyone's su...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm wondering if/where I can get the server side component for freebsd-update. Presumably such a component would build and sign the binary patches and prepare them to be served via HTTP to the freebsd-update client. I need a system for distributing binary updates to a collection of customized FreeBSD machines, jails, and embedded systems.

...9;s a copy-devices patch to rsync available, but it only allows to rsync a block device into a regular file. Someone suggested that the --keep-device option be added to rsync for that, but I don't think anyone did implement it. Then I started to look at alternatives including: xdelta, xdelta3, bsdiff, bdiff, bdelta, open-vcdiff. Unfortunately, among those supporting block devices, none were able to "patch" a device without rewriting it fully (which defeats my purpose as I only want the modifications to be written so the qcow2 image grows only as much). Then I decided the best option...
