Thoughts on DVD images
by Jim Kusznir 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi all: I've been following the whole DVD iso access questions and such for a while, and while talking to some people on #centos-mirror during the 5.5 push, some thoughts occurred to me. Presently, it is my understanding that there are two different repos maintained: ones with dvd images, and ones without. This seems needlessly painful and wasteful of the time and resources of our dedicated Centos volunteer administrators. I understand at least some of the reasons it exists: there are some mirrors that don't have the space for the DVDs or for other reasons wish not to carry them. However, times are changing, and I think that many, if not most, centos mirror operators would prefer to carry the DVD isos. In fact, I'd almost expect future major releases of CentOS (6+) to distribute DVD isos instead of the CD disk 1 of xx isos. So, I propose that the dvd-less mirror system is eliminated (all msync mirrors carry DVDs). No special ACLs either... Its easy to add a --exclude "*DVD*" to the rsync line for those that wish to not carry the DVDs. I also think that with sufficient announcement and time (say 1-3 months), this shouldn't be an issue. My understanding is that officially its required for anyone who operates a CentOS mirror to be subscribed to this list, and thus they should receive the announcement. In addition, a note can be added to the msync MOTD conveying this. If others have problems, I think the CentOS team would have done their due diligence; the fault would rest with those not paying attention to lists. After all, all things change and evolve, and I think this is a natural evolution for the CentOS mirror team. --Jim Administrator, centos.eecs.wsu.edu.

hi guys, We might be able to get a couple of machines online on Internet2 ( hosted at osuosl ) setup as msync targets. But before we do anything the question is : are there many people who would prefer the I2 specific target to sync from ? - KB

Tempfile file in CentOS mirror?
by HEAnet Mirror Admin 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi, Since the 10th of May we've had the following file in our CentOS mirror: /centos/5.5/isos/i386/.CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-2of7.iso.y5JSbD It looks like a fragment from an aborted rsync session, should this file be there? We're pulling the CentOS-incdvd target from msync-dvd.centos.org rg -- Rob Gallagher | Public Key: 0x1DD13A78 HEAnet Limited, Ireland's Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1.

DVD access
by Ralph Angenendt 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, to all the people who want to have DVD access: We have added several machines to our msync network and we are planning to open up DVD access - but we're not going to do that *right now* while everybody is downloading 5.5. Once the rush is over we're going to address this issue, because we still need to shift a few machines around to allow that. Sorry, but that is where it stands right now. So everything will become fine in the end, but the end is not necessarily right now :) Ralph

New mirror mirrors.arsc.edu
by Greg Newby 30 May '10

30 May '10

We have been running this mirror for awhile, but I never sent this email asking to become "official." Question: how do I get DVD isos? We had been mirroring from .anl.gov and had them. Now we're mirroring from centos.org and the DVD isos are gone. We seem to have the CD isos. Here are our details: Organization name: Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Location: Fairbanks, Alaska, USA http://mirrors.arsc.edu/centos/ ftp://mirrors.arsc.edu/centos/ Mirroring 4X daily from msync.centos.org Site bandwidth is OC12 I am the contact for this mirror. -- Greg Dr. Gregory Newby, Chief Scientist of the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Univ of Alaska Fairbanks-909 Koyukuk Dr-PO Box 756020-Fairbanks-AK 99775-6020 e: newby AT arsc.edu v: 907-450-8663 f: 907-450-8603 w: www.arsc.edu/~newby

Nvidia Sound Controller Issue with 5.5
by Chris 28 May '10

28 May '10

Wow after about a week of issues.... and tons of speculation I finally found this bugfix to solve Nvidia's sound driver issues. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4335 I would like to stress that this problem has cost me tons of downtime since after each crash from this bug fsck would run! The patch seems to be working provided form the bug url.
