Mirror Changes - Important
by Lance Davis 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Due to the split of mirrors with cAos , it will be necessary for mirrors to make some changes to the way that they mirror the CentOS tree, as moving forward it will no longer be a part of the caosity tree. Firstly mirrors need to decide whether they are mirroring CentOS or cAos or both. They are distinct operating systems, CentOS is a rebuild of Enterprise Linux , whereas cAos is an rpm based distribution in its own right. For more information see www.centos.org or caos.caosity.org At present both trees are mirrored with a single rsync of mirror.caosity.org::cAos - moving forward two rsyncs will be needed :- mirror.caosity.org::caosity that will get the caos tree and msync.centos.org::CentOS that will get the CentOS tree Please note that at present CentOS will be listed and stored within the cAos tree, this should not be the case in the future - CentOS should never be stored or listed as a part of cAos or caosity. Mirror Changes -------------- In order to achieve the changes required with minimum download bandwidth the following steps should be carried out. (Note that individual circumstances may vary - if in doubt do nothing and ask) . 1. Stop cron based rsync job from syncing 2. Move the CentOS tree to its new location, which should be at the root of the publically served tree. This can either be achieved with 'mv' or if you want a 2nd chance at it 'cp -al' which will create a hardlinked copy of the tree (as long as it is on the same partition) eg with directory structure /pub /pub/caos /pub/caos/centos cp -al /pub/caos/centos /pub/ or mv /pub/caos/centos /pub to end up with /pub/ /pub/caos /pub/centos (and /pub/caos/centos/ if using cp -al) 3. Create a new rsync cron job to sync the CentOS tree (if required) . This should be something like :- rsync -aqzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS /pub/ *** note the change to msync.centos.org *** mirror.centos.org is deprecated for rsync use - to allow us to use different servers for yum mirrors. please use rsync -anvzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS /pub/ first to test that the command will do the right thing ('n' is dry run and will just show what wil be transferred - which in theory should be very little - if it says 40 GB + then the command is wrong !!) Note that due to the way that rsync works any updates will only be written to this new tree and not the hardlinked tree left behind if using cp -al above ( that can be deleted once you are happy with the new location working). 4. Create a new rsync cron job to sync the cAos tree (if required). This should be something like :- rsync -aqzH --delete mirror.caosity.org::caosity /pub/ *** note the change to ::caosity - ::cAos will still sync both trees for mirrors that havent restructured yet. *** This will also delete the CentOS tree left underneath the caos tree above. You should now have both trees in the correct places. 5. Please email the list to say that you have restructured your mirror and what the new urls will be for public use. We will update the databases to reflect these new locations. 6. It is not necessary to mirror all of centos if you do not wish to - eg you can choose whether to carry 2.1 , 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 - but please note in the email any trees that you will not be carrying and we will note that in the database. 7. In the very near future we will be restricting access to msync.centos.org to publically listed mirrors only - we have to establiush a way for new mirrors to sync first though. 8. We will be tracking which mirrors have/havent restructured and will contact individual mirrors accordingly. There is now an irc channel - #centos-mirror on irc.freenode.net where mirroring discussions may be held. Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

Welcome to the new CentOS-mirror mailing list.
by lance＠uklinux.net 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

As you will have read in a recent post, the CentOS mirror system is separating from cAos so as to be an independent project in its own right. There will be more information regarding how to change the mirror setup and where to sync from shortly, however for now we are creating new mailing lists. If you were subscribed to the caos-mirror mailing list then you will jave been subscribed to this list automatically. (If not - apologies). The options you subscribed with should be maintained - although your password will have changed. If you want to know the password that has been set in order to login and change options then you can have it emailled to you here :- http://lists.centos.org/mailman/options/centos-mirror Regards Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

I had tried variations, but I did it wrong.

Mirroring only 4.0 and updates
by Vicki Stanfield 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

I am trying to set up a Mirror of Version 4.0 with updates. When I try to use rsync (which is the method I prefer), I get all versions. Can I rsync and get only version 4? -- Vicki Stanfield Linux User #30705 http://counter.li.org Certified Red Hat Engineer - RHCE Number 806200695901889

Due to space restrictions on the current mirror server I am migrating everything to a new server. I should have it completed tomorrow and I have temporarily stopped caos/centos updates on mirror.trouble-free.net. No paths or ips will change. -- Regards, John Quaglieri InterServer, Inc 201-643-0135x101

RSYNC script
by Shaun 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Here's my rsync script, kind of a quick write so it could be better.. One thing some of you might like is that the script checks to make sure that the process is actually running if the pid file exists. If the pid file exists but the process doesnt, it clears the pid and continues... Note: the script has be to run as root to write the pid, other wise you'll need to make a dir in /var/run and chown that dir, chown it to your user and edit the script to use that dir... --------------[CODE]---------------- #!/bin/sh RSYNC="/usr/bin/rsync" RSYNC_OPTS="-aHv --delete --bwlimit=512 " if [ -f "/var/run/mirror.pid" ]; then RUNPID=`cat /var/run/mirror.pid` if ps -p $RUNPID; then echo "Mirror is already running..." exit 1 else echo "Mirror pid found but process dead, cleaning up" rm -f /var/run/mirror.pid fi else echo "No Mirror Process Detected" fi echo $$ > /var/run/mirror.pid echo -n "Mirror Started at " date #CentOS Mirror $RSYNC $RSYNC_OPTS rsync://mirror.centos.org/cAos/centos/ /data/mirrors/centos/ echo -n "Mirror Ended at " date rm -f /var/run/mirror.pid ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Best Regards, Shaun Reitan Best Regards, Shaun Reitan Account Specialist www.NDCHost.com www.cPlicensing.net

Hello, this is my script. : centos.cmd ------------------------ #!/bin/sh lockfile=/var/lock/centos.cmd.lock if [ -f $lockfile ]; then echo "already running" exit fi touch $lockfile rsync -azH --delete --bwlimit=wanted_bandwidth rsync://your.preferred.mirror/packages/centos/ /path/to/centos/repository/ rm -f $lockfile ------------------------ don't forget the trailing slashes. the bandwidth is in kilobytes (ex: 2048 -> 16Mbps), and may be omitted if you don't care of saturating your line. put the command in your crontab, running one or more times a day. -----Message d'origine----- De : centos-mirror-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-mirror-bounces@centos.org]De la part de Brian Watters Envoyé : vendredi 1 avril 2005 4:27 À : 'Mailing list for CentOS mirrors.' Objet : [CentOS-mirror] RSYNC Script Hello all, Some time back I saw a posting of scripts that some of you are using for running RSYNC, I have searched the list however the list appears to only now go back a few days .. If those of you that have these sample scripts could share again I would appreciate.
