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

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

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.

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

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"

RayStedman.org Bandwidth
by greg＠raystedman.org 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Thank you very much for the feedback here guys! I believe we will drop the DVDs for now and see where that leaves us. Tru: Please change us to DVD=No. We also have some bandwidth and connection limiting that is available under Plesk that we might be able to use. It does not look like Plesk will allow us to limit resource on a subdomain basis so we would likely need to use RayStedman.net instead of RayStedman.org for hosting the CentOS Mirror. This would also allow us to separate out our traffic stats from the main website a bit easier. Mod_cband looks like it has a great deal of flexibility as well. I will try to read up on it over the next few days. Does anyone know if you can specify a subdomain as a limiting target? We have several options to work with now. Thanks again! Greg

RayStedman.org Bandwidth
by greg＠raystedman.org 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Hey All, The comments you folks have made on this subject have really been great. We are taking two steps here to help address our bandwidth limitations: (1) Isolate CentOS traffic to a unique domain and ip address. This will help us monitor the traffic from the mirror separate from our main domain. This will also give us additional flexibility for how we support the CentOS mirror in the future. I will look at the ip addresses requesting transfers and see if there is a pattern of ownership. ==>> Please change the domain for the mirror from RayStedman.org to RayStedman.net. DNS propagation is in progress as I type this append. (2) We are going to eliminate support for DVDs for all releases. ==>> Please update our mirror to DVD=No. I hope the combination of these two changes will resolve this issue. Thank you again for your comments! Greg

RayStedman.org Bandwidth
by greg＠raystedman.org 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Good Afternoon, We have excess bandwidth that we have been donating to the CentOS.org mirror for several months now. We are starting to exceed the available bandwidth we have available on our server. I performed some traffic analysis and find that on the 17th of April there was a significant increase in daily traffic from the mirror. Our bandwidth consumption increased from 25GB per day to over 150GB per day and has been holding steady at this level. Our monthly allocation of bandwidth will be exceeded if we continue at this rate. We would like to continue donating bandwidth to CentOS.org but we need to find a way to control the amount of bandwidth that it is consistent with our monthly allocation. We currently support all releases and the DVDs. Is the correct answer to reduce the amount of content we support on the mirror? Perhaps we should support release 5.x only? Please give me your thoughts on how to best remain below our monthly bandwidth allocation and support the CentOS.org community at the same time. Have a great day everyone! Greg

How do I restrict our mirror to English only files?
by Patrick.Young＠chghealthcare.com 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Hi Everyone, I'm setting up an in-house mirror for our company that will not be available to the outside world. To save disk space and bandwidth usage I'd like to mirror only the English versions of files rather than all languages available. Does anyone know an efficient way to do this? Is there an rsync command to do this? Thanks for your help, Patrick

I've had a number of rsyncs time out over the past couple of days and each time it has been when I'm syncing with CentOS B2. It hangs at the "receiving file list ..." stage. I've got a very generous timeout of 3600 seconds, too. I'm not seeing any problems with any other msync.centos.org servers. Anybody else seeing this? Thanks, Mike

Ya, They sent me an email saying "It has come to our attention that your site is using an extreme amount of resources on our servers and network. You have outgrown the Hostmonster Shared hosting package. It is getting increasingly more difficult to keep your site online for shared hosting as it degrades the experience for the other users on our server". Then I got a refund message from Paypal with a note saying "Account was taking up too much space on server, account has been deleted and I am refunding the dedicated ip". I have only been using about 250 gig of space and 650 gig of bandwidth a month so I am still confused as to why my account was shutdown. I talked to support last night and they said they have seen allot of these lately. I have switched all of my web pages over to Host Gator. They offer 1 TB of storage and unlimited bandwidth for 12 a month. Hopefully it will be better. --- Jay > > They offer 1,500 Gigabyte Hosting 15,000 GIGS transfer but they shut your > site down!?!?!
