Also try an invocation of rsync with the checksum flag; that'll catch any files that might be corrupted. It does increase server load and rsync run time, though, so you should probably disable it again afterwards.

under 5.6 I have a script that runs every night to rsync the repodata for local installations. I added the 6.0 to do the same.

Something seems wrong now for 6.0. I do the same thing and I get errors from my local repo at install time. Seems like the cyrus-sasl package is never happy and aborts the installation.

Is something wrong with the script below? It seems like it successfully copies the files. I ran it manually and did not see any errors.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Here's my script. Obviously, it picks up the os/ tree as well as the updates/ tree. So far, no problems with 5.x or 6.x:

#!/bin/sh for VERS in "5.6" "6.0"; do SRC="ftp.osuosl.org::centos/${VERS}/" DEST="/srv/mirrors/centos/${VERS}/" echo "-----------------------------------------------------------" echo "Sync-ing CentOS $VERS with $SRC" echo /usr/bin/rsync -avSH \ --exclude "isos" --exclude "centosplus" --exclude "extras" \ $SRC $DEST echo "-----------------------------------------------------------" done
