Mirror centos.hostace.ru have high resourses usage
by Коненко Андрей Викторович 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

We have reached more than 1,000 concurrent connections to our mirror - users download dvd-images. It's loaded our processors by 90%, as a result, we expect short-term failures in the mirror in the next few days, if the load grows. The problem will be solved as soon as possible С уважением, технический директор HostAce LLC Коненко Андрей Викторович +7 913 134 9004 (МТС) (812) 309-57-17 (Телефон в Питере) ICQ 408108152 Skype raistlin_phoenix mail admin(a)hostace.ru

CentOS-6 CDs decision needs some stats
by Karanbir Singh 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

hi guys, For CentOS-6 we are thinking of dropping the CD isos from the main distro. So there will only be an os/ and isos/ will have the DVD and netinstall CD only. However, in order to make that decision we would love to get some stats from mirror operators about download frequency of CD isos and DVD isos. Would it be possible to get something like that ? Just numbers posted to this list are fine. If we can get them split for CentOS-4 and CentOS-5, even better. Thanks - KB

Sigh, AWstats... That's not the first time I've suspected its data is incorrect. My only guess is that its counting literal hits. Not complete downloads. The server only has 100Mb/s dedicated to it, So it would be impossible to move that much.

CentOS-6 CDs decision needs some stats
by Ray Morris 10 Jun '11

Would it be good to be able to serve the same number of users while reducing resource consumption, including bandwidth, by 70%? Let's get rid of some of the noise in the data and compare just DVD versus CD. Using the NetNITCO data let's look at only the most rcent release, 5.6, and for less noise let's look at the most popular CPU, i386: 65 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-DVD.iso 25 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-1of7.iso 20 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-netinstall.iso 16 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-5of7.iso 13 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-4of7.iso 13 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-2of7.iso 12 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-3of7.iso 9 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-7of7.iso 9 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-6of7.iso 5 /5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-LiveCD.iso CD 1 is downloaded 38% percent as often as the DVD - a significant amount. So people seem to want CDs a good portion of the time. Also interesting is that CD 6 and 7 are downloaded about 1/3rd as much as CD 1. It looks like a lot of people are like me in that they do installations with only the first CD or two and don't need to download all 4 GB. That's a 70% reduction in bandwidth, time, disk io on the mirrors when they get CD #1 & #2 instead of the full DVD. Every user who is served by downloading only 2 CDs totalling 1.2 GB instead of 4 GB is good for the mirrors, good for the network, and good for the users. If they are forced to download the DVD instead, that means they use three times the resources that they currently do. I don't currently run a mirror because I don't have quite enough bandwidth available, but if I were running a mirror I'd rather serve up 1.2 GB to each of those users than 4 GB. -- Ray Morris support(a)bettercgi.com Strongbox - The next generation in site security: http://www.bettercgi.com/strongbox/ Throttlebox - Intelligent Bandwidth Control http://www.bettercgi.com/throttlebox/ Strongbox / Throttlebox affiliate program: http://www.bettercgi.com/affiliates/user/register.php
