Partial Mirrors
A complete mirror of all assemblies requires a large amount of disk space (currently on the order of a terabyte). However, it is not too difficult to set things up so that only a portion of assemblies are mirrored. The following scripts are used for this purpose at Cornell (http://browser-mirror.bscb.cornell.edu).
- Media:doDownloads.sh - Script for downloading selected files from hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu
- Media:doUpdateDb.sh - Script for updating local mysql database with downloaded files.
- Media:databases - File identifying which databases to mirror.
- Media:gbdb.exclude - File identifying directories to be excluded when rsyncing /gbdb.
