DVD Images, again, please?
by Voll, Toivo 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

We got some more disk and four times the previous procesor cores, so we figured we'd add some stuff to our mirror, such as the DVD images since a lot of our users want them. Alas, when attempting: rsync -[stuff] msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd I get: msync.CentOS.org rsync service (CentOS W) --------------------------------------- [Disclaimer and stuff] @ERROR: Unknown module 'CentOS-incdvd' What is the current recommended way for public US mirrors to mirror the entire tree, DVD isos and all? I recall there having been restrictions in the past for that rsync image from the root servers, but what is the current status? (msync-dvd.centos.org. resolves to 63.135.110.10, in case this is helpful.) Also, please shorten our mirror URLs from ftp.net.usf.edu to ftp.usf.edu; the rest of the path remains as it was. (The old URL will also remain valid for the foreseeable future.) I'm also happy to report that you can now add HTTP as a supported access method; the HTTP url is identical to FTP (except for the protocol part): http://ftp.usf.edu/pub/centos/ ftp://ftp.usf.edu/pub/centos/ -- Toivo Voll Data Network Management Academic Computing University of South Florida

Resolving "no time" on status page
by Sadiq Sutherland 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Hi, For mirror.nyi.net we are getting status of "no time" under the last stat column on the status page. It occasionally succeeds but is "no time" most of the time. I've been trying to troubleshoot this but I'm running out of ideas. Mirror is up to date and time stamps look okay. We have lots of available bandwidth. Any ideas what could be causing this? thanks

Mirroring Release of CentOS 5 Beta
by Lance Davis 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

In preparation for the public release of CentOS 5 beta, we would like to expand the number of mirror servers that have the beta as we expect it to be a popular download. So if any mirrors - especially ones with large bandwidth - can agree to the following please let us know :- 1. set up an apache virtual host as beta.centos.or 2. set up rsync for beta.cenros.org with targets we specify This will make it easy for us to use GeoIP based dns system to give out mirrors. 3. agree to sync regularily and only carry the latest beta download tree Because we dont want broken stuff too widely distributed 4. agree to remove the beta stuff when the beta test is over Thanks Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

Beta Site Up
by Richard Ford 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

G'Day All, centos-beta.candishosting.com.cn is up ready to server the isolated penguin lovers of the middle kingdom. I am doing a sync now to make sure it is all up to date (and activating RSYNC as well). Do I need to do anything else? Clear, concise, succinct answers preferred. Cheers, RF.

Question Regarding beta DNS
by Kevin M Stange 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Is the DNS for the beta geographically based? I find that when I access the mirror from our own network, I seem to be directed to a random beta mirror in the US rather than our own, which is most certainly closest. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast Networks http://www.steadfast.net kevin(a)steadfast.net Phone: 312-602-2689 ext. 203 | Fax: 312-602-2688 | Cell: 312-320-5867

geo-ip/loadbalancing causing trouble for beta.centos.org
by Jonas Anden 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

I've done a bit of downloading of packages using the beta.centos.org hostname yesterday, and there are some issues because of geo-ip and load balancing being used. When navigating the http://beta.centos.org/ site, some mirrors have different structure than others. Navigating the tree we sometimes get redirected out of http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.92/... and into a different structure (in the mirrorservice.org case, you'll sometimes end up on http://beta.centos.org/sites/beta.centos.org/centos/4.92...). I've noticed this with mirrorservice.org, the same may be true for other mirrors as well. Now, this would be fine if it wouldn't be that the geo-ip/loadbalancing solution in place for beta.centos.org will land me on *different* servers a little now and then. Coming from the same source IP, I'm receiving different results to lookups. This makes the downloads fail with a 404 if I land on a different server when I click on the hyperlinks... One possible solution would be to have the servers do a redirect to the real server name when contacted as beta.centos.org. That way all my subsequent navigation within the site would land on the same server (cluster). The above problem report is a bit of 'informative'; since we've now synced up a local mirror here the problem is in effect gone *for*us*. It may still be causing headaches for others, though... Since we're using centos on a number of servers here, we have a local mirror (we've only got a 2 Mbit link here and are only mirroring certain releases & architectures, so setting up a public mirror just wouldn't make sense). I've set it up to rsync from beta.centos.org for the beta release. This, too, is a bit of a headache due to load balancing... Some mirrors do not support all switches recommended for rsyncing from mirrors. Particularily, the -H switch is not supported by mirrorservice.org and the rsync bails if we try to rsync with this flag. Other sites (don't remember which one, and can't reproduce it at the moment) don't support the -z flag, but doesn't bail but just ignores the -z flag. Mirrorservice.org: Would it be possible for you to support the -H switch? Thanks for your hard work, it is really appreciated. Almost all of our servers are running CentOS in some form. // J
