Syncing of CentOS 5 to mirrors.
by Lance Davis 25 May '07

25 May '07

The sync seems to be going apace now - we aim to release tomorrow. Please would mirrors that have synced and have approx 20GB in the centos/5.0/ tree email this list to confirm. Also if any mirrors are listed on our website as only carrying 3 or 4 or both and want to carry 5 then they will need to let us know to update the database once they have synced. I wil sort out access to the dvd sync - but I think we need ot stand up another server for that role ... Thanks Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

new mirror, questions
by Alex Chekholko 21 May '07

21 May '07

Hi all, I'm working on configuring a full mirror of CentOS. I have some questions. People seem to be providing HTTP/FTP/rsync connection methods. Is one of those better than the others? Which one is the most useful? I'd like to mirror the DVD isos too, but they don't seem to be included in the main server. Is there a separate procedure for mirroring the DVDs? So far, I have this line scheduled via cron every 4 hours: rsync -avH --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /opt/mirror/pub/CentOS > /tmp/rsync.log HTTP: No FTP: ftp://repo.bioinformatics.upenn.edu/pub/CentOS/ Rsync: No Sync times: 6x per day Releases: ALL ISOs: Yes Location: Philadelphia, PA, US Bandwidth: ~100Mb/s Sponsoring Organization: Penn Center for Bioinformatics URL: http://www.pcbi.upenn.edu/ Contact Email: manager(a)pcbi.upenn.edu -- Alex Chekholko

Status of dvd iso for CentOS mirrors.
by Lance Davis 01 May '07

01 May '07

With the release of 5 we have seen a tremendous increase in the use of the dvd.iso , so that from bitorrent it is now downloaded 5 times more than the cd isos. That may be due in part to it being hard to find and more readily available by Bt, but I think is also down to increased prevalance of dvd-rom drives. The main issue with having the dvd isos available from mirrors is that Apache < 2.2 running on 32 bit architecture wont display files larger than 2.0 GB , however CentOS 5 has Apache 2.2 with large file support so that problem will now start to go away - alternative is also to use lighttpd. (CentOS now has its first server up running C5 and able to display large dvd images under http :) I have updated our isoredirect system to detect and verify dvd isos on mirrors , and sources with current dvd isos are now listed separately on the isoredirect page - what this is showing is that very few of our mirrors have the dvd isos and we need to get more out there ... To test :- http://isoredirect.centos.org/mirrorscripts/chooseisolist.pl?release=5.0&ar… It will give you local info based on your ip you can also add &cc=xx to test other country codes I know a lot of mirrors are wanting to download the dvd isos and we have just configured two new servers with msync-incdvd. However, we would still like mirrors to do their initial sync of the dvd isos to one of our tier 1 mirrors that have them , and then we will add their ip addres to our acl for syncing. We also have no problem if mirrors want to sync to a local tier 1 mirror, our system will still detect that they are up to date. It is likely that in the near future we will restrict access to msync rsync to current registered mirrors, and new mirrors will either have to register first or do an initial sync from a registered mirror *hmm - we have said this before - but now we have 160 mirrors we really will have to do something ...) There has been some confusion about the CentOS and CentOS-incdvd rsync targets , and the fact that some mirrors have dvd isos included in the CentOS target, so what we would like to do is to have a list of tier 1 mirrors that :- 1. provide rsync access to the complete CentOS release tree 2. would be prepared to act as a seed for new mirrors 3. would be prepared to set up separate CentOS and CentOS-incdvd targets for other mirrors to sync against, either initial or recurring syncs (the trees would be hardlinked, so extra space required is minimal). We will then publish details for other and new mirrors of how they can sync against these master sync servers. If you would be prepared for your mirror to act as one, and have the bandwidth and capacity for it then please respond. Whilst writing I would like to thank all of our mirrors for the tremendous support that you provide for CentOS and our users and especially during the release of 5.0 Regards Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

Upgrade Centos mirror Info
by Unidad de Redes Telematicas 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hello, * This mail is to update the info of our centos mirror. Country: Venezuela Organization Name: Universidad de Carabobo Versions: >= 4 Architectures: i386 Direct DVD Download: no Protocol: ftp Server: ftp.uc.edu.ve URL: ftp://ftp.uc.edu.ve/linux/Centos/ There is only one change and one correction. The correction: the architecture we host is only i386 by now. The change: we hosts versions >=4. By the way, talking about the mirror list with my boss, he said that he thinks that all the information in http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 is dinamyc and that our server is mis configured (since the info in the page is not in sync with the data in the server). I said that the info is static and that it is our duty to inform any change. Who's right? Thanks in advance.

our mirror address
by sukru＠cs.hacettepe.edu.tr 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hi, I'm one of the system admins at Hacettepe University Computer Science and Eng Dept. Previously Ersin Er from our department had initiated a public CentOS mirror on our servers, served at http://mirrors.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr A few months earlier we'd decided to limit HTTP access to all our mirrors to internal machines only. This was done because we could throttle FTP connections while there was no viable was to prevent abuse of HTTP ones (we'd several problems due to people downloading with 10+ threads in parallel). Anyways, our mirror is now displayed as RED, so if possible could you update the link to point to ftp://ftp.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/pub/mirrors/CentOS ? Regards, Sukru TIKVES

Sorry, I haven't been at work since the shootings. mirror.cs.vt.edu (http/ftp/rsync) is fully synced with the latest stuff now. It probably has been for days now, I hadn't thought to log in and check. I might have missed it in the flood of emails I've been reading today; when should we turn off the Centos 5 beta stuff?

Hi all, We have set up a new public mirror site for Centos. The url of the site is http://mirrors.cytanet.com.cy/linux/centos/ (http only). I have scheduled cron to perform synchronization twice a day. The synchronization is done with these items excluded : --exclude "alpha/" --exclude "s390/" --exclude "s390x/" --exclude "2/" --exclude "2.1/" The mirror is located in Nicosia city, Cyprus. The bandwidth available for the Centos mirror is currently 10Mbits/s. The mirror is sponsored by Cytanet ISP in Cyprus ( http://www.cytanet.com.cy/ ) Please add our mirror to your list of mirror sites. Also note that the mirror is completely synchronized. ----------------------------------------- Stylianos
