URL changes...
by Daniele Carbonetti 19 Sep '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, due to space requirements I moved the CentOS tree to another directory. For compatibility with links on your site I put a symlink to redirect requests to, but I have to ask if you can change the URLs on your Mirror-list page. The OLD URLs (Italy - Daniele Carbonetti) are: http://www.dcl-arch.it/pub/1/CentOS/ for HTTP access ftp://ftp.dcl-arch.it/pub/1/CentOS/ for FTP access The NEW URLs are: http://www.dcl-arch.it/pub/2/CentOS/ for HTTP access ftp://ftp.dcl-arch.it/pub/2/CentOS/ for FTP access What changes is the "2" instead of "1" in the directory tree. The Rsync URL remains unchanged. Another question: I see some of the mirror are providing DVD images too. How can I mirror these too (rsync URL I should to use to sync them)? Thanks a lot! Bye! - ---- Daniele Carbonetti Unix System Administrator Email: sun75(a)danielec.it -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkTllvYACgkQ9QuhkCjrioghlgCgqq9ZEI2CtOfmkl7kbFCjevT5 nqAAn3cZiCppKj+t+xR5v8ViP7H/iZUO =mmd9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

A new Centos mirror at nic.funet.fi
by Centos Mirror managers at NIC 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hi, I've set up a new centos mirror at the nic.funet.fi alias ftp.funet.fi (ftp.funet.fi is the server from where Linux was launched 17.9.1991 making us the oldest linux distribution server I guess) during this summer (holidays slowed finalizing it a bit...). In July there seemed to be most times I tried manually problems getting any response from the msync servers, now it seems to be doing OK. HTTP.: http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/ FTP..: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/ Rsync: rsync://rsync.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/ (BitTorrent is currently under testing, I'm interested in comparing it's performance and statistics with FTP if anyone has those to share. I've been experimenting with PermaSeed but that requires using the Osprey tracker so unless you're using it I'd have to generate separate torrent files or try some other approach.) Version..............: All (I use the rsync settings recommended in the Mirror HOWTO which I guess equals All) Architectures........: All Direct DVD Downloads.: Yes please, but it seems I'd need first access to my-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd to make it happen. Could that be arranged? Other mirrors could rsync from us too as long as we are not the only source. I'd hope the 2GB limit will gradually disappear... It's practically the same bits as in the set of CDs so if most sites supported DVDs I'd suppose the load would not rise much (rsync, pureftpd, http 2.2.x and Solaris 10 at least seems to be working combination). Preference for mirrors is for nearby (low latency) sites, european late night (but do sync more often if you need to) and the academic community in case we'd need to be preferential someday... Our primary target audience is the finnish academic and research community to which we'll always give preference and best latency. Please let us know if and when you mirror us regularly and you might someday get better service or service break announcements. The GeoIP mapping sounds interesting. We currently provide at least Fedora and Ubuntu DVD:s without major problems to everyone.. Synchronised..: 4 times/day (23 22,3,8,17 * * * currently, but could change) Location......: Finland, EU Bandwidth cap.: 1 Gbit/s (It's a NIC-dedicated network connected on a Juniper router that's connected to the Funet backbone which in turn is connected to NORDunet, Geant, Internet2, FICIX etc. with many gigabits) In practice the speed one gets depends on latencies, number of users and how well the 16GB memory can buffer the files). Organization.......: CSC / Funet (Finnish University and Research Network) Contact email.: centos-mirror(a)nic.funet.fi Main URL......: http://www.nic.funet.fi/ Service window: 15-19 Finnish time on Mondays (for non-urgent Funet related service work, not every monday of course) but breaks and reboots on other times are also possible. Harri Salminen nic.funet.fi coordinator

CentOS-4 to the mirrors
by Johnny Hughes 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

CentOS-4 is syncing to the mirrors, but it seems that there are a lot of out of date mirrors. Can everyone check that their mirror is properly syncing? You can check the status of your mirror here: http://mirror-status.centos.org/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS Developer

Politics
by Zenon Panoussis 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

The mirror monitor at http://mirror-status.centos.org/ says "taiwan, province of china". For those in politics, this might be correct or wrong, depending on which side they stand on. The common name of the island however, used universally except perhaps in ROC, is plainly "Taiwan". Saying "Taiwan" does not imply any siding with either political stance, while adding "province of china" certainly does. So I wonder, what's the background to this odd naming? Did CentOS receive a nastigram from the Chinese ambassador? Did the ROC mirrors impose conditions for mirroring? Was it just an accident at work? Or did CentOS make a conscious decision to solve a 60-year old problem over the heads of those affected by it? Z

Release for 3.8 and 4.4 coming soon
by Karanbir Singh 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi guys, just a heads up - 3.8 is going to be out in the next few days, followed by 4.4 shortly after! the usual process will stay in place, for a few days - there will be 3.7 + 3.8 out there, then 3.7 will go away. same with 4.3 and 4.4, a few days after 4.4 is released, 4.3 will go away and the symlinks change accordingly. our usual plan is to drop the older release around 14 days after the new one has gone out ( to make sure all mirrors are sync'd and most users are able to do any repo movement they need. And once again, Thanks for all the mirrors out there! -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

init doesn't work after upgrade
by E.Tenneriello 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hello, this morning I started an upgrade process on my server CentOS 4.2 (Command: yum -y upgrade). Unfortunately after a little time, a black-out happened and I don't know if the installation was completed. The restart of the machine started automatically, and appeared an error similar to the following: mount: error 22 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init After a quarter of hour, I rebooted the server, but now the init doesn't start up many processes, like sshd, and I'm not able to login. How can I solve my problem? Have I use an other distro to enter? Or do I need to reinstall the system avoiding formatting any partitions? Thanks Eugenia Tenneriello PS: I see version was upgraded to 4.3

Service hiccup
by William Dunn 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

We had a slight problem with http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/ overnight (US night). We moved the rack, and when the server came back up, the apache server didn't start. It's up and running now; will it automatically be added back into the list? Oh, and where's that page where you can check status? -- William Dunn Unix / Linux Administrator Virginia Tech Computer Science Department wdunn(a)cs.vt.edu / 540-231-3167
