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.
