Please remove

Hello, I previously asked that HTTP access be removed, and it was (thank you!) but now that has shifted to FTP floods taking up all available slots and causing heavy IO for the rest of the mirror sites. Could you please remove us from the mirror list completely for the time being and let me know when it is safe to turn off the site? Thank you -- Randy Fast Serv Networks, LLC

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.

RFC on public centos mirrors
by Tru Huynh 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hi, There is now close to 200 public CentOS mirrors listed at http://mirror-status.centos.org/. Only a handfull of them is late/down at any given time so I would like to thank you all for your support and efforts on behalf of the CentOS team and the silent users. Here is the current situation and some proposition to further improve it. - centos.org servers are donated to the project. We don't control the disk size not the bandwith available on these servers. - regular centos mirroring is fine - recent requests for extending the mirror with the dvd isos have been delayed due to limitations on centos.org side(bandwith/resources). - limited number of rsync servers allowed to reach the centos + dvd iso (ACL on the centos.org servers) - msync.centos.org are round-robin (eu/us) and need time to sync together from a "master" server. - no ACL on the regular centos tree (~110 GB for all versions/all arches) <6G 2.1 31G 3.9 47G 4.6 28G 5.1 - the separation between Tier1/2/3 has not been written down (except for bandwith availability). Requirements for CentOS public mirror: - request for no bandwith limitation (if you need to throttle, we can just remove your mirror from the mirrorlist generation and leave it on the main list). - round-robin for CentOS clients (http/ftp) via geo-ip from http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo= RFC for possible future direction: rational: several public servers have more bandwith than the centos.org machines, by serving more files from the big pipes, we reduce the bottleneck for everyone. - dvd mirror (Tier 1) are the only one allowed to reach the master dvd repository - other public dvd mirror are re-directed to the dvd Tier 1 - leave it like that (no additional public dvd serveri: not satisfying...) jidgo: feedback from debian mirror maintainer - rational: reduce the bandwith/time needed for the initial sync for each point release * drawback: the burden to generate the so goes to the public mirror willing to use jidgo * drawback: another target needed (hardlinked) for mirror who don't want/can't use jidgo * jidgo receipe needed for each iso (how easy/hard is it to work with?) - doing it the otherway round? iso -> os/$arch tree Best regards, Tru PS: 5.2 is in QA now -- Tru Huynh (mirrors, CentOS-3 i386/x86_64 Package Maintenance) http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xBEFA581B
