instability of msync.centos.org::CentOS (4.4 dir)
by Takash Ichihara 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Hi there, Recently I notified that the CentOS 4.4 directory appeared and disappeared periodically in our mirror server (ftp.riken.jp). After the investigation, I notified that at the CentOS Rsync Master server msync.centos.org::CentOS the 4.4 directory seems to be disappeared sometimes in rsync connection. Since we are mirroring CentOS archives from msync.centos.org::CentOS using "rsync -aqzH --delete" options, when the 4.4 directly cannot be found at msync.centos.org::CentOS at the rsync mirror period, all the 4.4 archives mirrored so far are deleted immediately. And then in the next time when the 4.4 directory is found at msync.centos.org::CentOS, the rsyncing of 4.4 starts from the beginning. This repetition seems to raise the overload of the centos rsync master server (msync.centos.org) For the temporary solution, I have removed --delete option in rsync command and switched the rsync server to us-msync server. Could someone please investigate this problem ? Thank you in advance. Takashi Ichihara

CentOS-4 to the mirrors
by Johnny Hughes 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

CentOS-4 is syncing to the mirrors, but it seems that there are a lot of out of date mirrors. Can everyone check that their mirror is properly syncing? You can check the status of your mirror here: http://mirror-status.centos.org/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS Developer

Politics
by Zenon Panoussis 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

The mirror monitor at http://mirror-status.centos.org/ says "taiwan, province of china". For those in politics, this might be correct or wrong, depending on which side they stand on. The common name of the island however, used universally except perhaps in ROC, is plainly "Taiwan". Saying "Taiwan" does not imply any siding with either political stance, while adding "province of china" certainly does. So I wonder, what's the background to this odd naming? Did CentOS receive a nastigram from the Chinese ambassador? Did the ROC mirrors impose conditions for mirroring? Was it just an accident at work? Or did CentOS make a conscious decision to solve a 60-year old problem over the heads of those affected by it? Z

Release for 3.8 and 4.4 coming soon
by Karanbir Singh 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi guys, just a heads up - 3.8 is going to be out in the next few days, followed by 4.4 shortly after! the usual process will stay in place, for a few days - there will be 3.7 + 3.8 out there, then 3.7 will go away. same with 4.3 and 4.4, a few days after 4.4 is released, 4.3 will go away and the symlinks change accordingly. our usual plan is to drop the older release around 14 days after the new one has gone out ( to make sure all mirrors are sync'd and most users are able to do any repo movement they need. And once again, Thanks for all the mirrors out there! -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

init doesn't work after upgrade
by E.Tenneriello 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hello, this morning I started an upgrade process on my server CentOS 4.2 (Command: yum -y upgrade). Unfortunately after a little time, a black-out happened and I don't know if the installation was completed. The restart of the machine started automatically, and appeared an error similar to the following: mount: error 22 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init After a quarter of hour, I rebooted the server, but now the init doesn't start up many processes, like sshd, and I'm not able to login. How can I solve my problem? Have I use an other distro to enter? Or do I need to reinstall the system avoiding formatting any partitions? Thanks Eugenia Tenneriello PS: I see version was upgraded to 4.3

Service hiccup
by William Dunn 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

We had a slight problem with http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/ overnight (US night). We moved the rack, and when the server came back up, the apache server didn't start. It's up and running now; will it automatically be added back into the list? Oh, and where's that page where you can check status? -- William Dunn Unix / Linux Administrator Virginia Tech Computer Science Department wdunn(a)cs.vt.edu / 540-231-3167
