centosb3 is now 2.7 days delay.
by Ichihara Takashi 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi all, Now centosb3 (one of the pdns node for msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd) seems to be having a minor problem. http://centosb3.centos.org/timestamp.txt now (Fri May 22 13:58:51 UTC 2009) shows Tue May 19 20:30:01 UTC 2009 As a result, the status of CentOS mirrors http://mirror-status.centos.org/ shows that there are several (approximately ten) nodes which show of 2.7 days delay. Sorry for posting too many times. Regards, Takashi Ichihara

Flip-Floping contents at msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd [ Re: flip-flopping timestamp by pulling CentOS [Re: Wrong timestamp by pulling CentOS-incdvd
by Takashi Ichihara 19 May '09

Hi Tru, and CentOS master mirror server Admin. Our user notified that the contents of Centos 4 at our ftp server ftp.riken.jp is flip-flopping between new one and old one in these few days. We already noticed that the time stamp was flip-flopping before in this Mailing list as: On 09.5.5 0:13 PM (UT+9) [CentOS-mirror] flip-flopping timestamp by pulling CentOS [Re: Wrong timestamp by pulling CentOS-incdvd On 09.4.21 11:28 PM (UT+9) [CentOS-mirror] Wrong timestamp by pulling CentOS-incdvd But It was not only the time stamp, but also all the contents at msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd seems to be flip flopping till now. Could you please look into and fix this problem ? We are now now mirroring using the script below, since we cannot believe the time stamp at msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd. rsync -avzH --delete --exclude=timestamp.txt --exclude=TIME --exclude=".~tmp~/" msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd /ftp/Linux/centos date -u > /ftp/Linux/centos/timestamp.txt date +%s > /ftp/Linux/centos/TIME For example, same file was deleted and created and deleted and created in our rsync log to msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd. (We are rsyncing to msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd every 4 hours if the previous rsync process does not exit) A part of the rsync log is shown below. CentOS.log: 2.1/updates/headers/tzdata-0-2009f-1.el2_1.noarch.hdr CentOS.log.4 :deleting 2.1/updates/headers/tzdata-0-2009f-1.el2_1.noarch.hdr CentOS.log:8 2.1/updates/headers/tzdata-0-2009f-1.el2_1.noarch.hdr CentOS.log.17 :deleting 2.1/updates/headers/tzdata-0-2009f-1.el2_1.noarch.hdr (time zone of the log files beleow is JST = UT+8) -rw-rw-r-- 1 archive archive 30662 May 19 18:42 CentOS.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 archive archive 91659 May 19 18:15 CentOS.log.4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 archive archive 84518 May 19 18:03 CentOS.log.8 -rw-rw-r-- 1 archive archive 91493 May 18 18:24 CentOS.log.17 Thank you in advance.

Question about becoming a mirror
by Vadtec 15 May '09

15 May '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am interested in becoming a CentOS mirror, but when I looked at the How To, it didn't bother to say how much HD space it is going to require. I have a large amount of BW to spare, but HD space is premium for me. Rather than wasting resources and downloading the entire mirror like it suggest, I figure it's better to ask here. So, how much space would be required to mirror the entire setup? I may also look at mirroring just the 5.X series out of necessity. Is that allowed as a public mirror? Any help is greatly appreciated.

push based mirroring
by Karanbir Singh 15 May '09

15 May '09

Something I posted on the blog, and I'd appreciate comments from this list about: -------------------------------------------------- Has anyone given though to doing mirror updates via a 'push' rather than a 'pull' mechanism ? Basically, when new packages are available the machines that get updates would do a rsync to the machines down the order, pushing the updates out. It would allow us to get more updates, out faster and also not need to waste cpu and i/o on repeated rsyncs that dont need to be run. Yes, we could/would/should still leave in place some mechanism for people to setup new mirrors and also to do pull based rsync's as and when they need. Just something to think about at the moment, and comments would be very welcome. - KB

ipv6 machines

We should setup a section dedicated to ipv6 mirrors, and perhaps another one for I2 mirrors. Suggestions on what / how we might do that anyone ? - KB

centos-mirror-announce list
by Karanbir Singh 14 May '09

14 May '09

hi, This has now been raised a few times, and I think its important to talk about : request for an centos-mirror-announce list, so mirror admins can only monitor that. I think its important to not have an announce only list for the mirrors, and have a place like this list so issues important to the mirror admins can be discussed here. Things like how we might make changes to the mirror structures etc. From my side of things there are 2 types of noise on this list : 1- people requesting new mirror additions and changes to status for those mirrors. 2- people running non-public mirrors using this list for chatter. Tru, Ralph and I were talking about (1) yesterday and we can perhaps reduce that process to a webform. I am not sure what can be done about (2). Do we even want to do anything about it ? Or, is there enough interest in having a -announce only list ? - KB

Wrong timestamp by pulling CentOS-incdvd
by Takashi Ichihara 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi all ( I resubmit a mail to the Centos-morror List for your information) (sorry to sent again, because previous one was sorted in the different thread in the ML archives) Tru Huynh wrote, > > Hi, > > > > http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/centos/ is being listed as 12 days late. > > > > Any issue on your mirror or on the centos mirror your are > > pulling from? > > > > Best regards, > > > > Tru Hi Yes, we ftp.riken.jp are pulling from the CentOS master site by rsync -avzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd /ftp/Linux/centos every 4 hours when the previous rsync to msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd is not running. In addition, we kill the previous rsync once a day if there is a previous rsync to msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd running and start a new rsync to msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd . A part of the last rsync log is as follows. > > Mon Apr 20 23:03:01 UTC 2009 > > no Force argument is specified > > now rsyncing to msync.centos.org is starting > > > > msync.CentOS.org rsync service (centosb3) > > --------------------------------------- > > > > This service is intended for the sole use of the CentOS worldwide > mirror network > > to synchronize mirrors. > > > >receiving incremental file list > >deleting .rsync.log > >./ > >TIME > > timestamp.txt > > 4.7/apt/i386/base/ It seems that the time stamps obtained by pulling the msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd seems to be sometimes wrong at some conditions. At the Centos archive directory at ftp.riken.jp the time stamps are now as follows. [ftp centos]$ pwd /ftp/Linux/centos [ftp centos]$ date -u Tue Apr 21 13:21:06 UTC 2009 [ftp centos]$ cat TIME 1239274801 [ftp centos]$ cat timestamp.txt Thu Apr 9 11:00:01 UTC 2009 [ftp centos]$ ----------------- Manual rsync to msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd/ right now resulted [ftp centos]$ pwd /ftp/Linux/centos rsync msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd/TIME . rsync msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd/timestamp.txt . [ftp centos]$ cat TIME 1239274801 [ftp centos]$ cat timestamp.txt Thu Apr 9 11:00:01 UTC 2009 [ftp centos]$ date -u Tue Apr 21 13:24:29 UTC 2009 ----------------------------------------- Manual rsync to msync.centos.org::CentOS/ right now resulted rsync msync.centos.org::CentOS/timestamp.txt . rsync msync.centos.org::CentOS/TIME . [ftp centos]$ cat TIME 1240320001 [ftp centos]$ cat timestamp.txt Tue Apr 21 13:20:01 UTC 2009 [ftp centos]$ --------------------------------------------- I remember that the mirror ages of ftp.riken.jp was 3 hours yesterday or the day before yesterday. But now there are several sites which mirror ages are 12.1-12.2 days now including ftp.riken.jp. So I think the time stamps obtained by msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd is sometimes wrong (12.x days ago) while timestamps obtained by msync.centos.org::CentOS is always correct. For the temporary solution to this problem, I added the rsync msync.centos.org::CentOS/timestamp.txt /ftp/Linux/centos/ rsync msync.centos.org::CentOS/TIME /ftp/Linux/centos/ after the rsync -avzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd /ftp/Linux/centos command in the daily mirror script.
