Rsync Pull as Non-Root
by greg＠raystedman.org 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hey There, We would like to setup our rsync pull operation to run from a non-root user as suggested by a recent entry here. The owner:group of our current mirror files is 502:502 which is likely preserved from the source of the rsync pull. I need to make sure the mirroring software is not sensitive to this owner:group combination. If this is the case, we will likely (1) create a new user and group of rsync:rsync; (2)change the ownership of the all the mirror files to rsync:rsync; and (3) run the rsync pull operation from the cron of the rsync user. Is there anything else we need to be sensitive to as we make this change? Please note that the mirror files reside in an anonymous ftp directory and are accessed by ftp, http and rsync services. Rsync is running as a standalone read only daemon. Thanks! Greg

I'm showing a number of 416 errors in my mirror's Apache log files. They all appear to be for CentOS 5.2 x86_64 noarch packages. It's possible that this is due to some problems that are currently being discussed in -mirror. hughesjr recently rebuilt the hardlink structure for 5.2 x86_64 noarch packages, following reports of files that failed to match their checksums. I personally have set: FileETag MTime in my mirror Apache config, which probably has left my server caching information and advertising ETag validity for files that have since shrunk following the relinking. Clients are left asking for more file than currently exists. Restarting the server is an immediate fix; but I should probably also be including at least Size in there... or maybe just unset it and let the default "INode MTime Size" work its magic. It's possible that the metadata files also have some influence on what content ranges are requested, but I'm not a Yum expert so I can't say for sure. -Brandon

Yum 3.2.8-9 from msync-dvd.centos.org wrong?
by Kevin Stange 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

A few users have reported we have a bad copy of yum on our mirror causing update failures. The yum package on mirror.steadfast.net had the md5sum: 0ef11f016a2cf6545ae4abb356abc498 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1.noarch.rpm A copy from mirror.centos.org has: d776014eb266b87299465cb38e0f6b96 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1.noarch.rpm After replacing the RPM with the one from mirror.centos.org, it seems to verify correctly. If I delete the file from our mirror and allow rsync to fetch it again, it receives the same file as it did originally, with the wrong md5sum. The file sizes however, are the same. Is there a bad copy of the file on msync-dvd.centos.org, which we sync from? Thanks. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast Networks http://steadfast.net Phone: 312-602-2689 x203 Fax: 312-602-2688 Cell: 312-320-5867

5.2 Release going to mirrors
by Johnny Hughes 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

All, We are releasing 5.2 to the mirrors via msync.centos.org and msync-dvd.centos.org. Initially (for the first 24-48 hours) the permissions on the 5.2 directory will be 770 ... which should put it on your mirror but NOT show it via your web server. We will change the permissions (flip the bit :D) on the 5.2 directory to 775 after we get a significant amount of external mirrors that show as synced. We are doing this to minimize bad updates (and/or downloads) until the mirrors are fully synced. If any of you have extra bandwidth and want to seed the Bittorrents, that would also be appreciated as well, the torrent files are in the isos directories. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Sure it does - it gives you a module list, with only the CentOS module there at the end, on the very last line :) I guess rsync URLs in the format rsync://host::module/ aren't actually supported, even though you see lots of people publishing them like that. Even on the centos mirror list page, there are a good number who do - maybe they shouldn't? I followed their example, although obviously without enough testing :) It seems counterintuitive, because it works just fine if you strip the rsync:// off the front. This means that the following two commands are equivalent, and will get you a directory listing: rsync mirror.nic.uoregon.edu::centos/ rsync rsync://mirror.nic.uoregon.edu/centos/ Maybe I'm missing something? Either way, the content should be there... -Brandon

Missing headers in 5.0, odd link structure
by Brandon Davidson 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

I guess I never paid all that much attention to it before just now, but has the CentOS 5 tree always been missing the HEADER.html and HEADER.images links? It's not pretty any more :( Also, why are the directories inside /5 individually linked to their current version, instead of directly linking /5 to /5.2 as was done with the 4 series?

Average Traffic?
by John C. Young 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

I'm debating joining into the mirror program to donate some additional bandwidth to the worthy cause you are. Can a few of you speak out regarding what sort of bandwidth usage you are seeing? I am located in the United States (Miami, FL to be exact) and am on a 100MB uplink - it would be interesting to hear from some of the other folks with similar setups as to the amount of traffic that is pushed. With Cogent lowering their pricing I might go for a Gigabit burst uplink, but that's down the road. and I want to help now. J Thanks, John
