Disk usage statistics for the (upcoming) 7 release
by Fabian Arrotin 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Mirror admins, Just to let you know that we've started opening the rsync/msync nodes for the (upcoming) 7 release. So, depending on when your mirror will start his following rsync cron job, you'll probably have to rsync ~21Gb of additional data. Our GeoIP dns redirector will redirect you to your nearest (or nearby) msync node, but depending on network speed/time of the day (if some other mirrors are syncing at the same time as you, etc ) you'll be able to fetch it directly or you'll have to wait a little bit. So check your rsync jobs/logs in the following minutes/hours please. Thanks a lot and don't promote this now, but wait for the official GA news to be sent please. - -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlO6bPAACgkQnVkHo1a+xU6JWQCfezLzSe12tgPeICFL3ZrjKAz3 uKAAnjzPnlKYS2cdvMu0gffb1KEMwLXn =8GbE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Important notification for the (upcoming) 7 release.
by Fabian Arrotin 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi Mirrors Admin, Karanbir and myself had a conversation about CentOS 7 and external mirrors and here are some points we'd like to report: First, we'd like to say thank you for the CentOS Mirror you actually provide for all CentOS users all around the world. Second point I wanted to mention is the fact that CentOS 7 is slowly approaching. What does that mean for you ? Don't be surprized if in the following days/week(s), your CentOS mirror will start consuming more disk space and bandwidth. We have currently no fixed disk space usage stats for 7, but we expect it to be ~40Gb (os/updates/iso images) and that will grow with new updates being released when they'll appear. Keep in mind that that will be for i386/x86_64 and we just plan on releasing x86_64 now, i386 being a community effort, and considered secondary arch (so building in parallel but we'll release x86_64 even if there is no i386 build "ready") To better serve you, we'll start implementing the following changes in the next 24 hours : - we'll restrict the CentOS (and - legacy but pointing to the same path - CentOS-incdvd) rsyncd modules access to IP currently being marked as "official" CentOS public mirrors - That means that we'll currently stop adding new mirrors until Seven is out - That also means that if you're using a different outgoing IP address than the reverse ip lookup for your mirror(s), you'll be blocked (if that's the case, contact us on the centos-mirror list and we'll fix that ) Can we also remind you (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors) that : * if your mirror is located in the .us, you're encouraged to use the us-msync.centos.org::CentOS host/rsync module * if your mirror is located somewhere in Europe, you're encourage to use the eu-msync.centos.org::CentOS host/rsync module * Mirror out of the .us/.eu scope can use the generic msync.centos.org::CentOS host/rsync module (multiple nodes using GeoIP to redirect to the nearby country/host) We count on you for a successful CentOS 7 release, and would like to thank you once again. If you have questions, feel free to start a new thread on the centos-mirror list, Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

CentOS 5.10 to external Mirrors
by Johnny Hughes 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

CentOS 5.10 is available from msync.centos.org (or us-msync or eu-msync). I expect several external servers to be synced in the next 24-36 hours, so I expect the general announcement to happen then. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Dropped 6.2/ from the mirrors
by Karanbir Singh 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I have just removed 6.2/ from the mirrors tree - it should cascade through to your mirrors in the next sync cycle. From here on 6.2/ is only available on http://vault.centos.org/ with 6.3 being the current /6/ release. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

6.1 tree to the msync and msync-dvd server
by Johnny Hughes 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

I am going to release the 6.1 tree to the msync machines (eu-msync.centos.org, us-msync.centos.org, msync.centos.org) as well as msync-dvd.centos.org Both the msync machines and the msync-dvd machines have geoip capability, so they will pick a machine that is on or close to your continent for syncing. The targets are "rsync <your_options> msync.centos.org::CentOS/" (or eu-msync, us-msync if you prefer ... though the system should give you the correct one with just msync as well) ... OR ... "rsync <your_options> msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd/". The msync-dvd machines will require that your mirror has been added to the list to be authorized. I will monitor the centos-mirrors list and try to add anyone who is not on there that wants to be ... BUT, for 6.1, there is no difference in the trees. The msync tree and the msync-dvd trees both have the DVDs in the tree. Initially, while we get the tree pushed, I am going to have the permissions on the 6.1 directory set to 700 ... this is to prevent access on our mirrors while we get some external machines synced. I will, after we get several dozen external mirrors synced, flip the permissions to 755 and a subsequent rsync by you will also change your permissions. Obviously, you control your external servers and you can offer the tree early after you get it in place ... but remember that our mirror list generator will show your trees as active as it finds them, so you may get significant traffic if you open your tree early (before other machines get online). If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

6.0 now coming to your mirrors
by Ralph Angenendt 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

The official mirrors should get access to 6.0 soon (in the next one or two hours). The "bit" is still unflipped, so please don't leak it beforehand :) Flippage will probably occur around tomorrow evening (UTC) or sunday. Cheers, Ralph

DVDs again
by Ralph Angenendt 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi, I just added everyone who got access to the DVDs now and wasn't listed on www.centos.org as carrying the DVDs to our database. So your mirror should be listed there in a few hours as having the DVDs. I noticed that a few mirrors which requested access don't carry the DVDs yet. Give me a shout once you're done, I'll add you then. Remember that you need to change your rsync scripts, use msync-dvd.centos.org as the server to pull from, the target is CentOS-incdvd - as in /usr/bin/rsync -aqzH --delete --delay-updates msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd halifax.rwth-aachen mirror.ircam.ft eznetsols.org netnitco.net ftp.ines.lug.ro don't have them yet (I hope I didn't forget anyone). Regards, Ralph

DVD access now going live
by Ralph Angenendt 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi, I just "injected" the new acls into our config management system. This means that the acls should be on our mirrors in the next few hours. So how to get the DVDs now? For rsync, use msync-dvd.centos.org as the server to pull from, the target is CentOS-incdvd - as in /usr/bin/rsync -aqzH --delete --delay-updates msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd for example. You'll get a mirror reasonably close to you to pull from with that. If you're not directly able to access the dvd, wait at least until tomorrow evening before making some noise - the config change should go out rather fast, but with some machines being rather remote, puppet sometimes takes two or three tries to pull through. After that (or if you cannot get the dvd at all, although you sent me your IP address), please do make some noise, as I might have mistyped something or plainly forgot you (this shouldn't have happened). I'll update our mirror database over the weekend, so your mirror won't show as carrying dvds before that on our mirrorlist. Cheers, Ralph

DVD Access for mirrors
by Ralph Angenendt 15 May '11

15 May '11

Sorry, this mail has been sent to the mirror list only, as I sent it with the wrong mail address before leaving for the week. So if you already sent me a mail, there is nothing you have to do. I am just extending the deadline for a few more days. Hi, here's the deal: We're going to open up DVD access (everybody go "yeah!"). We're still going to restrict it to mirrors, so here's what is going to happen: I am going to be away for this week. This leaves you enough time to send a mail to ralph.angenendt(a)gmail.com stating your mirror *and* the ip address you are coming from. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MAIL. When I am back (sunday), I am going to start to add those mirrors to the acl for the dvd msyncs. I hopefully will be able to do that during the next week. Please add b38887a2508dc to your subject line, that makes it easier for me to filter the mails :) Again: Send a mail with your mirror name and ip address you are pulling with to ralph.angenendt(a)gmail.com. DO NOT REPLY TO THE LIST. Please add b38887a2508dc to the subject line of your mail. If you already have DVD access, there's nothing for you to do. Cheers, Ralph

5.6 is coming closer
by Ralph Angenendt 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, just a short announcement that you will be seeing 5.6 coming to your mirrors in a very short while. The directory should sync as not open to the outside world, there will be a bit switch when we feel that enough mirrors should have that release (meaning: We monitor mirror-status.centos.org). If you see anything out of the ordinary, please send a mail to the centos-mirror list. Regards, Ralph Angenendt
