Just went to update a couple systems this morning, and first one machine took nearly 15 min to find the mirrors (and it should be getting it all from our own repo, actually), and then the next one showed about 8-10 mirrors down, including Harvard and VCU. Anyone know what's going on?
debugging yum issues is almost always best done from your local client instance. Running yum with -d9 would be a good place to start from.
I do not believe it's a local yum issue. I tried to point firefox to http://mirror.harvard.edu, not exactly an obscure mirror, and it times out. As I work for an agency of the US gov't, and we have *fat* pipes, it's not likely to be on our end.
From yum -d9 update:

And it's still going. What we have here is a massive problem with the mirrors.
So, any *real* idea what's going on?
