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

Hi. I'd like to ask for access to CentOS-incdvd on msync-dvd.centos.org for 85.14.85.4 . Now pbone.net has 100mbps connection to global internet. Best regards. --- Grzegorz Paszka RPM Search Developer http://rpm.pbone.net

Hi, i have rsync from sync-dvd.centos.org (eurovps.centos.org) and this server is too slow: rsync -avzH --delete msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd ... Any problem in this server, or bad rsync URL? -- Vaclav Dusek

CentOS-4.5 release to Msync / Msync-DVD Mirrors
by Johnny Hughes 17 May '07

17 May '07

Mirror Admins, We expect to release the CentOS-4.5 tree to the external mirrors (msync / msync-dvd) sometime in the next 8-16 hours. We are releasing i386, x86_64, ia64 in this release ... s390 and s390x will come at a later time ... so alpha, s390 and s390x will start out as sym links back to the 4.4 tree. Initially, we will sync with the 4.5 directory at 700 so that it is not useable on our webservers ... we will shift the directory to 775 after we get 40-50% of the external mirrors synced. The increased size for this release will be: WithDVD: 19G NoDVDs: 11G We will expect a +8GB (no DVD) and +12GB (with DVD) more when s390/s390x is released. We will expect that number to then go down when we move 4.4 to vault.centos.org (a week or so after s390/s390x release). The final end result should be 2-4GB increase after moving 4.4 to vault. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Centos 5.0 deleted during sync from mirrors
by J.H. 15 May '07

15 May '07

Just noticed this (since I needed to snag something from centos 5) that something weird happened yesterday with regards to syncing from rsync://msync-dvd.centos.org/CentOS-incdvd/ (to zeus1.kernel.org - ip: 204.152.191.4) Specifically Centos 5 was completely deleted from my repository (running rsync with --delete) along with a huge amount of other sections of Centos. Thought I'd alert people and see what was going on.

mirrorlist.centos.org vs mirror-status.centos.org
by Pekka Savola 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hi, We (www.nic.funet.fi) are listed and OK on mirror-status.centos.org. However, I can't seem to get mirrorstatus.centos.org to point to us. For example, the following doesn't list either of the Finnish mirrors: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=4&arch=i386&repo=updates&cc=fi Shouldn't mirrorlist.centos.org reflect the valid mirros listed on mirror-status ?

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.
