rsync failing from msync-dvd.centos.org
by Imre Gergely 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi I'm running a romanian centos mirror, ftp.astral.ro , syncing with rsync from msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd. From time to time I get the following error: rsync: failed to connect to msync-dvd.centos.org: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(107) [receiver=2.6.8] Could be twice a day, could be once, could be once a week. So I put a dig msync-dvd.centos.org in front of rsync to see what IP addresses I get which don't work and I got these: msync-dvd.centos.org. 120 IN A 83.149.110.183 msync-dvd.centos.org. 120 IN A 82.192.68.198 When I ping them, I get no response. -- Imre Gergely ISP Support Engineer UPC Romania 28 Dostoievski St., 400424 Cluj-Napoca www.upc.ro gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x34525305 Prezentul mesaj constituie informatie confidentiala si este proprietatea exclusiva a UPC Romania SRL.

rsync

Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:16:04 +0100 From: Ji?? Sl??ka <jiri.slezka(a)slu.cz> Subject: Re: [CentOS-mirror] Rsync now supported for mirror.academica.fi To: centos-mirror(a)centos.org Message-ID: <4D52BDC4.9060207(a)slu.cz> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" hello andrew > A short note that we have now enabled rsync functionality for mirror.academica.fi . could you help me? is there some special rules about making rsync mirror or something like this is sufficient? (taken from fedora mirror howto) To be honest I'm not sure. I looked for a LONG time to find any official documentation, but didn't really find any. For any distribution. I took a combination of Fedora, Gentoo, and Debian documents and came up with what I am using. Here's what I have done: 1. Install xinetd. 2. Configure rsync in xinetd. - Basically, the Centos setup just needs to be changed so 'disable' is 'no.' 3. create /etc/rsyncd.conf you can use man rsyncd.conf for the syntax and various bits there, including an example. I started with the example from the manpage and added some items: I changed 'use chroot' to yes (the example said 'no.') I changed the max connections to 15. (I'd be more than happy to discuss numbers here.) I turned transfer logging on: -- transfer logging = yes log file = /var/log/rsync.log log format = %t %a %m %f %b -- These suggestions came from the Gentoo pages, and suggested that log format to provide better logging with the chroot. I added a timeout and a motd: -- motd file = /etc/motd.rsync timeout = 300 -- Following this, I placed lines for each of the 'sections' that we have. For CentOS, I used: [CentOS] path = /path/to/mirrors/CentOS comment = full Centos mirror --- 4. I checked that xinitd was set to restart in runlevels 3 and 5 with chkconfig. 5. I started xinitd. 6. I tested: A. does rysync itself work? rsync rsync://mirror.academica.fi/ (this shows the MOTD, and each of the sections I added, and the description.) B. does rsync transfer work FROM the server? C. is rsync transfer TO the server rejected? I'm not including command lines for how to do those tests, but you should check these before going 'live.' > > [fedora] > comment = Fedora - RedHat community project > path = <path to your fedora directory> > exclude = lost+found/ > read only = true The default is read only, incidentally. It may be a good idea to specifically state 'read only' however. > max connections = 100 > lock file = /var/run/rsyncd-mirrors.lock > uid = <user id (numeric, or textual) of an > anonymous style user who should have read access> > gid = <group id (numeric, or textual) of an > anonymous style user who should have read access> > transfer logging = yes > timeout = 900 > ignore nonreadable = yes > dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.Z *.rpm *.deb *.bz2 > refuse options = checksum > >thanks > >Jiri Slezka
