<br>With the release of 5 we have seen a tremendous increase in the use of the<br>dvd.iso , so that from bitorrent it is now downloaded 5 times more than<br>the cd isos.<br><br>That may be due in part to it being hard to find and more readily
<br>available by Bt, but I think is also down to increased prevalance of<br>dvd-rom drives.<br><br>The main issue with having the dvd isos available from mirrors is that<br>Apache < 2.2 running on 32 bit architecture wont display files larger
<br>than 2.0 GB , however CentOS 5 has Apache 2.2 with large file support so<br>that problem will now start to go away - alternative is also to use<br>lighttpd.<br><br>(CentOS now has its first server up running C5 and able to display
<br>large dvd images under http :)<br><br>I have updated our isoredirect system to detect and verify dvd isos on<br>mirrors , and sources with current dvd isos are now listed separately on<br>the isoredirect page - what this is showing is that very few of our
<br>mirrors have the dvd isos and we need to get more out there ...<br><br>To test :-<br><br><a href="http://isoredirect.centos.org/mirrorscripts/chooseisolist.pl?release=5.0&arch=i386" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a><br>It will give you local info based on your ip<br>you can also add &cc=xx to test other country codes<br><br>I know a lot of mirrors are wanting to download the dvd isos and we have<br>just configured two new servers with msync-incdvd.
<br><br>However, we would still like mirrors to do their initial sync of the dvd<br>isos to one of our tier 1 mirrors that have them , and then we will add<br>their ip addres to our acl for syncing.<br><br>We also have no problem if mirrors want to sync to a local tier 1 mirror,
<br>our system will still detect that they are up to date.<br><br>It is likely that in the near future we will restrict access to msync<br>rsync to current registered mirrors, and new mirrors will either have to<br>register first or do an initial sync from a registered mirror *hmm - we
<br>have said this before - but now we have 160 mirrors we really will have to<br>do something ...)<br><br>There has been some confusion about the CentOS and CentOS-incdvd rsync<br>targets , and the fact that some mirrors have dvd isos included in the
<br>CentOS target, so what we would like to do is to have a list of tier 1<br>mirrors that :-<br><br>1. provide rsync access to the complete CentOS release tree<br>2. would be prepared to act as a seed for new mirrors<br>
3. would be prepared to set up separate CentOS and CentOS-incdvd targets<br>for other mirrors to sync against, either initial or recurring syncs (the<br>trees would be hardlinked, so extra space required is minimal).</blockquote>
