With the release of 5 we have seen a tremendous increase in the use of the
dvd.iso , so that from bitorrent it is now downloaded 5 times more than
the cd isos.
That may be due in part to it being hard to find and more readily
available by Bt, but I think is also down to increased prevalance of
dvd-rom drives.
The main issue with having the dvd isos available from mirrors is that
Apache < 2.2 running on 32 bit architecture wont display files larger
than 2.0 GB , however CentOS 5 has Apache 2.2 with large file support so
that problem will now start to go away - alternative is also to use
lighttpd.
(CentOS now has its first server up running C5 and able to display
large dvd images under http :)
I have updated our isoredirect system to detect and verify dvd isos on
mirrors , and sources with current dvd isos are now listed separately on
the isoredirect page - what this is showing is that very few of our
mirrors have the dvd isos and we need to get more out there ...
To test :-
http://isoredirect.centos.org/mirrorscripts/chooseisolist.pl?release=5.0&ar…
It will give you local info based on your ip
you can also add &cc=xx to test other country codes
I know a lot of mirrors are wanting to download the dvd isos and we have
just configured two new servers with msync-incdvd.
However, we would still like mirrors to do their initial sync of the dvd
isos to one of our tier 1 mirrors that have them , and then we will add
their ip addres to our acl for syncing.
We also have no problem if mirrors want to sync to a local tier 1 mirror,
our system will still detect that they are up to date.
It is likely that in the near future we will restrict access to msync
rsync to current registered mirrors, and new mirrors will either have to
register first or do an initial sync from a registered mirror *hmm - we
have said this before - but now we have 160 mirrors we really will have to
do something ...)
There has been some confusion about the CentOS and CentOS-incdvd rsync
targets , and the fact that some mirrors have dvd isos included in the
CentOS target, so what we would like to do is to have a list of tier 1
mirrors that :-
1. provide rsync access to the complete CentOS release tree
2. would be prepared to act as a seed for new mirrors
3. would be prepared to set up separate CentOS and CentOS-incdvd targets
for other mirrors to sync against, either initial or recurring syncs (the
trees would be hardlinked, so extra space required is minimal).
We will then publish details for other and new mirrors of how they can
sync against these master sync servers.
If you would be prepared for your mirror to act as one, and have the
bandwidth and capacity for it then please respond.
Whilst writing I would like to thank all of our mirrors for the tremendous
support that you provide for CentOS and our users and especially during
the release of 5.0
Regards
Lance

Hello, *
This mail is to update the info of our centos mirror.
Country: Venezuela
Organization Name: Universidad de Carabobo
Versions: >= 4
Architectures: i386
Direct DVD Download: no
Protocol: ftp
Server: ftp.uc.edu.ve
URL: ftp://ftp.uc.edu.ve/linux/Centos/
There is only one change and one correction. The correction: the
architecture we host is only i386 by now. The change: we hosts versions >=4.
By the way, talking about the mirror list with my boss, he said that he
thinks that all the information in
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 is dinamyc and
that our server is mis configured (since the info in the page is not in
sync with the data in the server). I said that the info is static and
that it is our duty to inform any change. Who's right?
Thanks in advance.
HTTP: http://mirror.ncsa.uiuc.edu/centos/
FTP: No
Rsync: No
Sync times: 3x per day
Releases: ALL
ISOs: Yes
Location: Urbana, IL, US
Bandwidth: 760Mb/s (currently limited to 100Mb/s)
Sponsoring Organization: National Center for Supercomputing Applications
URL: http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/
Contact Email: mirror(a)ncsa.uiuc.edu
I'm concerned that some of the images in the HEADER.images folder aren't
rsyncing. Any idea why that's happening?

Hi,
I'm one of the system admins at Hacettepe University Computer Science and
Eng Dept. Previously Ersin Er from our department had initiated a public
CentOS mirror on our servers, served at http://mirrors.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr
A few months earlier we'd decided to limit HTTP access to all our mirrors
to internal machines only. This was done because we could throttle FTP
connections while there was no viable was to prevent abuse of HTTP ones
(we'd several problems due to people downloading with 10+ threads in
parallel).
Anyways, our mirror is now displayed as RED, so if possible could you
update the link to point to
ftp://ftp.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/pub/mirrors/CentOS ?

of this maintenance. This maintenance is from 9:00 to 21:00 JST.

Sorry, I haven't been at work since the shootings.
mirror.cs.vt.edu (http/ftp/rsync) is fully synced with the latest stuff
now. It probably has been for days now, I hadn't thought to log in and
check.
I might have missed it in the flood of emails I've been reading today;
when should we turn off the Centos 5 beta stuff? I'd like to reclaim
the hard drive space.
