Hello List,
in the last weeks I have many, many Errors from chron hourly on my systems :- (.
Have we broken or not updated mirrors in the yum config ?
Thanks for a answer,

Can you give details please ? As per design there are *no* mirrors declared in the yum config files for CentOS, but they use the mirrorlist feature, that has all the current lists of mirrors that are validated/tested in loop
The only exception to that is for AltArch, like aarch64,armhfp,ppc64{le} arches, which are just pointing directly to mirror.centos.org
Or maybe you're talking about *non* CentOS mirrors but rather third-party mirrors ?

<snip> Missed the beginning of this - has this been for a while, or just in the last couple days? If so, do you have EPEL enabled? We had tons of errors, due to the error with them. Fixed by yesterday.

Um. yum clean all *and* yum clean metadata? Doesn't clean all include metadata?

Yes, it does. See Table 8.3 here https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/htm...

Another possibility is just the timing. When we release a CentOS update to mirror.centos.org, we release it to a master mirror and that takes it to other mirror.centos.org mirrors. That process takes about 30 minutes.
External mirrors, which sync at their own choosing, then get that content on their schedule.
We have a mirrorlist that gets populated by both mirror.centos.org and external servers. That list takes some time to generate and there is some lag time from when release updates and they are available everywhere.
During that lag time, you can get yum errors. Usually, a yum clear all and then a rerun of yum will fix the issues.
In the last several days we have had updates every day.
