Hi Kenny,

We've been using this simple script for years and it works great.  If I had to guess, the error you're receiving is because you're missing the second ':' between the host and module in the rsync statement.


#!/bin/bash
# Updates local mirrors.
#
# 2011-03-24 Initial version.

LOCKFILE="/var/run/mirror-rsync.pid"

# Update CentOS
if [ -f ${LOCKFILE} ]
    then
        exit 1
    else
        echo ${$} > ${LOCKFILE}
        /usr/bin/rsync -aqzH --no-o --no-g --delay-updates --delete msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd /var/www/html/centos/
        /bin/rm -f ${LOCKFILE}
fi

This is the output that it gives me.

Also - as a single point of reference (before IP filtering was
done), I found out how long it would take to do a full mirror
(~80GB), and it's about 8 hours at ~2.5 MB/s:

I don't use a lockfile (and my mirror is in Germany - hence the eu
reference), but I use the following:

0 3,15 * * * rsync -aqzH --delete eu-msync.centos.org::CentOS
/var/www/centos/media

Hello,
I have set up and did the initial sync for a new mirror in West
Virginia. After looking at the mirrors list, I believe this is the
first mirror to be located in WV

HTTP: http://centos.mirrors.wvstateu.edu [2]
Sync schedule: Every 12 hrs

Bandwidth: 300Mbps
Location: Institute, WV, USA
Sponsor: West Virginia State University
Sponsor URL: www.wvstateu.edu [3]
IP to authorize: 192.73.23.18
Email contact: kcarsey@wvstateu.edu

Also, I am having issues getting a good rsync script working with a
lock file. Could someone provide a working example that I could
modify to fit my configuration? Would be much appreciated!
