using the --delay-update switch in rsync >= 2.6.4
by Johnny Hughes 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

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.

If you want to create a lock file without a race condition, you could use the 'lockfile' command.
