Ok; I think I have this sorted now. Firstly, I get a few errors during
my initial sync that I think you might want to address:

rsync: opendir "/mirrorlist" (in repos) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/multilib-testing" (in repos) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/pkgbuilds" (in repos) failed: Permission denied (13)
ignoring unsafe symlink "docs" -> "/srv/http/repo/blacklist/"

The way I'm going to handle this otherwise looks like this:

rsync rsync://repo.parabolagnulinux.org:875/repos/ -rtlvH --safe-links
--link-dest=/srv/mirror/archlinux/ --link-dest=/srv/mirror/parabola
/srv/mirror/parabola.tmp
mv /srv/mirror/parabola /srv/mirror/parabola.old
mv /srv/mirror/parabola.tmp /srv/mirror/parabola
rm -rf /srv/mirror/parabola.old

I'll let you know when the initial sync is done (I'm getting horridly
slow transfer from repo.parabolagnulinux.org, but I expect completion
sometime before the end of this calendar month); otherwise does this
appear to be acceptable?

In addition, is there any sort of *maximum* rate at which you wish me
to sync from you?
