Primus AU Public CentOS Mirror
by Rory McMahon 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Hi All I've setup a Public CentOS Mirror in the Primus Telecom Datacentre in Melbourne, Australia. It is operating on a Dell PowerEdge 2900 with 3TB disk Space, and has Multi-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. A cron job is Rsyncing the data every 2 hours and it appears to be working very well. The Server runs CentOS 5.1 as do most of our Linux based servers, and will eventually run a few different mirrors. The IP Address is 210.50.4.36 and I've created the DNS Names mirror.primusdatacentre.com.au and mirror.ipgn.com.au to point to it. The path from the web root is /centos If you're happy with the setup, please add it to the public mirror lists, we are more than happy to donate our bandwidth to the CentOS Users Community as very happy CentOS users ourselves. Cheers, Rory McMahon Linux Systems Administrator - IT Operations Primus Telecommunications (Aust) Pty Ltd Ph: 03 9923 3768 Fax: 03 9923 3300 Email: rmcmahon(a)primustel.com.au <mailto:rmcmahon@primustel.com.au>

Hi, I'm currently mirroring a full mirror, but I want the DVD images, too. Right now I sync everything from eu-msync.centos.org::CentOS/, but the DVD isos arent there. Help? :)

DVD access
by Bob Pierce 27 May '08

27 May '08

We have recently upgraded the server hosting our mirror, and we would like to mirror the DVD .iso files. I know I have asked before, but I may have requested access from the wrong IP. I just tried again today, and msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd gives me an error of "Unknown module 'CentOS-incdvd'" Can you please provide access from 216.36.132.162 for centos.westmancom.com Thanks for your help with this. -- Bob Pierce Network Analyst Westman Communications Group pierceb(a)westmancom.com

Chmnage of mirror address
by LQD Internet Admin 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hi, Due to backup issues on our cpanel machines, we have had to move the location of our mirror files. Please could you change our mirror URL from centos.lqdinternet.com to mirrors.lqdinternet.com/centos. Thanks, Please let me know when this is done as the new url is being synced now but the old url contains a softlinked copy of the directories there. Regards, Harry

Is there no interest in my mirror offered on May 9 or what alse prevents the mirrorlist admin from publishing it? regards, Florian ----- Original Message ----- From: Florian Grundler To: centos-mirror(a)centos.org Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 5:19 AM Subject: new German mirror sponsored by SILYUS Hi I want to announce the availability of the following dedicated mirror server: http mirror URL: http://mirror.silyus.net/centos/ (http://78.47.29.210/centos/) location: Nuremberg, Germany bandwith: 100 Mbit FE up to 2000 GByte/month, 10 Mbit cap over quota synch frequency: 30 */6 * * * from eu-msync.centos.org sponsor: SILYUS info URL: http://mirror.silyus.net this mirror is mainly intended to facilitate and promote the use of CentOS in AS29940 and associated datacenters, however the files are available on all peering and commercial routes.

(does it also fail over upon receiving HTTP status code 403?) is there any advantage for yum to have ftp access or is http access enough? to join in on the distribution of the DVD iso files, which masterserver or community on the eu-msync should be used regards, Florian

New public mirror - University of Idaho
by Lien, Dave 16 May '08

16 May '08

I'm ready to come online as a public Centos mirror. Provider Name : University of Idaho Provider URL : http://www.uidaho.edu http : http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/centos ftp : ftp://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/centos Content : All (but no DVDs) Arch : All sync rate : 6 times per day from "archive.linux.duke.edu" Bandwidth : 100 Mbps commercial, 1Gb I2/NLR Location : Mosow, ID, USA Admin : mirror-manager at uidaho.edu Rsync'ing from archive.linux.duke.edu every 6 hours via a cron job. Cross country file copy but the mirror manager is a good guy, and they are Tier 0 for Fedora. Open to better West coast I2/NLR suggestions though. msync.centos.org traverses a commercial route, which means I can't use it as my upstream. I would be willing to host DVDs also, with a better I2/NLR upstream suggestion I will populate accordingly. Dave Lien University of Idaho

Missing srpm for latest cups (1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.el4_6.7)
by Shad L. Lords 09 May '08

The latest cups that was recently pushed (1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.el4_6.7) doesn't seem to have a srpm. I've checked quite a few mirrors and none of them seem to have it. Is this an oversight? -Shad

Re: CentOS mirror down? http://ftp.gui.uva.es/sites/centos.org/
by Guillermo R 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hi! yep, I'm afraid the site has literally vanished :| Last week we detected an 80% packet loss inside our network. We detected it was caused by our gateway, so when we were going to disconnect it to check its power source, we also had to disconnect the ftp server. We managed to fix the power source of our gateway (with a new one of the two we had for these emergencies) and powered on eveything nack but the ftp server won't start... So... again, check ftp server's power source, and dead :S Unfortunately, the other power source is not enough for this server, we've ordered a new one (a little bit more powerful because it might be the reason for its death though I just think it was Murphy's Law...) and we've been told that tomorrow it will be delivered. We think we will have the machine back by tomorrow's afternoon or the next day at the latest. I'm sorry for the inconveniences. It's something just happened and we haven't been able to deal it with till yesterday. Guillermo R PS: I'm sending a copy of this e-mail to the CentOS Mirror's Mailing List so everybody knows about the issue. <------------------------------------------------------------------> < Guillermo Rodriguez Cano ||| billy(a)gui.uva.es > < So this is how liberty dies... with a thunderous applause > < (Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith 2005) > <------------------------------------------------------------------> < Grupo Universitario de Informatica ||| Universidad de Valladolid > < Miembro Num. 248 ||| Presidente del GUI > <------------------------------------------------------------------> On Tue, 6 May 2008, Tru Huynh wrote: > Hi, > > According to http://mirror-status.centos.org/ > http://ftp.gui.uva.es/sites/centos.org/ > has vanished since the last 7 days. > > any issue? > > Best regards, and thanks for providing a public CentOS mirror. > > Tru >

Force takedown of my mirror
by Byron Handley 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hello List, I have just received an email from my host. It reads as follows: Bluehost.com, a sister company of Hostmonster.com, is now offering a public centos mirror at mirrors. Bluehost.com as such we will no longer be allowing our customers to host their own centos linux mirrors as they are too much of a resource drain on other shared hosting customers. Please take the necessary action to remove the mirror located at http://mirror.speedy-b.net/CentOS/ and contact us once completed to avoid any disruption of your account. Thank you, HostMonster.Com Now I am a BIG supporter of the Linux community, and this was my way of showing that support. But nevertheless, I will have to withdraw my mirror from the list. This is a sad day for me. Thank you, Byron Handley Speedy B Network

big_bw: Bandwidth Reporting Script
by greg＠raystedman.org 02 May '08

I vote for Gilbert's version of this script!! His version is much, much faster in execution as everything is done in memory. Now it is time for me to study up on the use of awk and associative arrays. Thanks Gilbert! Greg

big_bw: Bandwidth Reporting Script
by greg＠raystedman.org 01 May '08

01 May '08

Good Morning, The discussion about "RayStedman.org Bandwidth" inspired me to write a script that reports who the largest bandwidth consumers by ip address and host name. The report looks like this: 3,867,534,553 66.159.202.142 adsl-66-159-202-142.dslextreme.com. 3,847,010,060 190.82.182.19 190-82-182-19.adsl.cust.tie.cl. 1,410,308,739 130.160.110.250 1,051,088,947 216.57.200.57 I'm sure this kind of thing has been done many times in the past by other tools. I thought I would post the script I created just in case it might be helpful to others on this forum. Thanks again for your feedback on this topic. Greg #!/bin/bash # big_bw -- written by Greg Sims 05/01/08 # this script takes as input apache httpd log files access_log and # access_log.processed. a report is generated that contains one line # per ip address with the following fields: bandwidth consumed, # the ip address and the host name associated with the ip address. # # it is important to use mod_logio in the creation of the log files # to ensure the proper number of bytes are recorded in each log # entry. please see http://www.devside.net/guides/config/bytes-sent # how to accomplish this. # directory where access_log and access_log.processed are located # basedir="/var/www/vhosts/raystedman.net/statistics/logs/" # create bw.raw containing the ip address and bandwidth for each record; # sort the resulting file by ip address # cd /tmp cat $basedir"access_log" >bw.log cat $basedir"access_log.processed" >>bw.log cat bw.log | cut -d' ' --field=1,10 | sort >bw.raw # read through bw.raw and create bw.sum which contains one line per # ip address. each line in bw.sum contains the amount of bandwidth # consumed and the ip address that used the bandwidth # thisip="" rm -f bw.sum while read inputline; do ip=$(echo "$inputline" | cut -d " " -f 1) bw=$(echo "$inputline" | cut -d " " -f 2) if [ "$bw" = "-" ]; then bw=0 fi if [ "$thisip" != "$ip" ]; then echo $thisipbw $thisip >>bw.sum thisip=$ip thisipbw=$bw else if [ $bw != "-" ]; then thisipbw=$(( $thisipbw + $bw )) fi fi done < "bw.raw" # sort bw.sum so the largest amount of bandwidth used is at the top. # create bw.sum.sort which is the largest 35 consumers of bandwidth. # write a report to stdout doing some formatting in the process. # sort -nr bw.sum | head -n 35 >bw.sum.sort while read inputline; do bw=$(echo "$inputline" | cut -d " " -f 1) bw=$(echo "$bw" | sed -e :a -e 's/$.*[0-9]$$[0-9]\{3\}$/\1,\2/;ta') ip=$(echo "$inputline" | cut -d " " -f 2) echo -n $bw | sed -e :a -e 's/^.\{1,14\}$/ &/;ta' echo -n " " echo -n $ip | sed -e :a -e 's/^.\{1,15\}$/ &/;ta' echo -n " " host_name=$(host $ip | sed 's/^.*pointer //' | sed 's/.*DOMAIN)//') host_name=$(echo "$host_name" | sed 's/.*alias for //') echo $host_name done <"bw.sum.sort"
