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

mirror.trouble-free.net migration
by John Quaglieri 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

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

RE: [CentOS-mirror] RSYNC Script
by Sydney Bogaert 05 Apr '05

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.

Wrong naming in mirrors list
by Ersin Er 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hello, The URL given as http://mirrors.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/centos/ should be http://mirrors.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/CentOS/ and ftp://ftp.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/pub/mirrors/centos/ should be ftp://ftp.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/pub/mirrors/CentOS/ Also our departments name is "Hacettepe Univ. Dept. of Computer Sci. & Eng." We'll be glad if corrected. Thanks.
