Hi guys,
Just to let everyone know that we are going to be dropping the 4.1 tree
from the mirrors shortly.
All mirrors should now have 4.2 and the symlink for /centos/4/ should be
pointing to /centos/4.2/.

hi all,
I've set up a mirror where I published the bittorent downloaded DVD images
for 4.2 i386 and x86_64. More will follow, right now those published.
Link : http://centos.lsc.hu/
Country: Hungary
Company: LSC Linux Support Center Kft.
Simple directory listing provided right now. Right now I will publish only
iso images for http download.

Dear cAos maintainer,
We plan to conduct periodic inspections
of electrical facilities in our institute
at 23/Oct/2005 9:00-17:30 +0900(JST).
Because of this conduct, it will be outage.
So server will be shutdown around 7:00.
You can not access our server all that time.
We plan to start our server around 21:00.
- Date :23/Oct/2005 7:00-21:00 +0900(JST)
- Reason:periodic inspection of electrical facilities in our institute
Best regards.

All,
We are going to be securing rsync on the msync (also us-msync and eu-
msync) mirrors to allow us to push the CentOS-4.2 tree to all the
mirrors and get them up and running. This will probably happen about 2
hours from now.
We are trying this method to minimize the time that mirrors are out of
date with unusable yum configurations.
Also, if you upgrade your rsync on your mirror to > 2.6.4 (you can get
that from dag's repo) then you can use the "--delay-updates" option to
minimize the time your mirror has unusable yum metadata.
As soon as all the servers are back on line, I will make an announcement
on this list again.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

If you are looking to mirror the entire CentOS Public Mirror you need
about 60 Gigs of storage, The requirements jump a bit when there is a
new release since we will have both tree's for a few days ( eg. 4.1 and
4.2 are both live at the moment ), we will take 4.1 off soon.
There are somethings that we dont distribute out to public mirrors,
purely for the sake of disk space usage. This includes : Beta / Testing
versions of the distro's ( http://beta.centos.org ), debuginfo and
deprecated pkgs + tree's ( http://vault.centos.org) and we also dont
distribute DVD .iso images out ( only available via bittorrent )

Hi all,
Unfortunately, as a private web server renter, due to disk space
constraints I can not afford to support a CentOS mirror any longer.
Thanks for the support and the experience. I'll look for other ways
that I can help out CentOS.
It's been a fun ride.
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Jones
Due to the increase in space that CentOS is taking up, I've had to split
the mirror across two hard drives.
Any suggestions on how I would structure the rsync commands to
facilitate this?
Thanks,
Shawn M. Jones
Hi,
mirror.centos.org has address 131.211.85.22
mirror.centos.org has address 131.211.85.43
Are not reachable on port 80/TCP, servers which resolve to this mirrors
can't sync. Am i alone to notice that ?

It appears there is a looping symlink in the centos/4 directory, as shown
here:
# ls -l /mirror/centos/4/HEADER.images/
total 24
-rw-rw-r-- 2 distro distro 4734 Apr 19 22:00 centos_icon_60.png
-rw-rw-r-- 2 distro distro 14815 Apr 19 22:00 centos_logo_45.png
lrwxrwxrwx 1 distro distro 14 Sep 27 22:01 HEADER.html -> ../HEADER.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 distro distro 16 Sep 27 22:01 HEADER.images
-> ../HEADER.images
You can see this on other mirrors as well:
http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4/HEADER.images/HEADER.images/HEADER.images/

Hi guys,
CentOS 4.2 will be released in the next couple of days time, this is
just a heads up - the following tree's will be released initially:
i386
x86_64
ia64
s390
s390(x)
Alpha
Source Code ( SRPMS )
There will be a short lag ( 7 days ) before the 4.1 tree is removed
completely, so you might want to make sure there is enough space on the
mirrors to handle the extra pkgs.
Also, ensure that you are running rsync with the -H option so hardlinks
are handled properly.

yesterday,i found my raid is corruption,today,the raid is lose,so sorry everybody.
all data is lost.....
in the next few day,i will going to join a road bicycle match,so my mirror site(mirror.be10.com) is
not come back soon.... :(
I discovered this morning that SELinux had stopped a user from executing
commands through my apache web server. He was using a vulnerability in
php-pear to get in, which I had patched a few months ago.
Unfortunately, I had foolishly not restarted the apache service after
the patch, so he started adding interesting scripts to my temp directories.
I'm going to perform a partial rebuild of the server. By what I can
tell, he was not able to leave his SELinux jail and execute any
programs. I've used rpm to validate the MD5 checksums of all package
files and verified that the only ones that came back were ones that I
had modified.
As he was restricted to executing everything as the apache user with a
security context of root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t, he was not able to
start any of the back doors or IRC bots that he had placed on the
system, but I am concerned about the content accessible to
httpd_sys_script_t, so I'm going to remove all web server related
material and restore it from backups.
What I did not back up was the mirror of CentOS, which I need to rebuild
as a precautionary measure.
I'm currently removing alias to the CentOS mirror on the server. Please
remove me from the CentOS mirrors page until I get the system rebuilt.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Jones

Hello,
We have setup a new CentOS mirror that syncs 3 times a day with
us-msync.centos.org::CentOS.
http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/ftp://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/
rsync: centos-distro.cavecreek.net::CentOS
City: Phoenix, AZ
Bandwidth: 100mbit

We have upgraded the rsync used on the centos mirrors to a version >=
2.6.4 so that we can use the --delay-updates flag for rsyncing.
This flag (if you have rsync >= 2.6.4) will download all the updates,
then move them into place ... so for items like yum repos, there is a
much shorter time that the repo is not usable during long updates. If
you have rsync >= 2.6.4, we recommend you use this switch for CentOS
rsyncs.

Hi! I am now mirroring CentOS and I would like to use
lock files so that I don't start multiple connections
at the same time. I don't know how to do this...
The CentOS Mirroring HowTo 'told' me that this mailing
list can help me! Thank you in advance...

If you want to create a lock file without a race condition, you could use the
'lockfile' command. The man page even shows simple example quasi-script.
