How often does the mirror network update and check for mirrors that are or are not carrying updates? We have all the 5.4 tree on our mirror site but updates via yum are going to another site now....
Just wondering if we need to wait another 24 hours before doing updates for our own system?
Thanks,
Paul

Use yum clean all first and after that the mirror will be cached again

Checked that as well...;) I'm guessing that we have not hit the last "scan" of who is updated and who is not.... perhaps waiting a bit will fix this. According to my rsync logs we finished getting the 5.4 tree less than 24 hours ago...
Cheers, Paul

If you have a local mirror, why not just configure you systems to sync from it instead of pulling the mirror list?
Also, you can check the timestamp file in the /centos/ directory to see how far behind your mirror is from the master pool.

Found the problem ...
First off, we'd have to touch each system which would take one person about two weeks probably (a lot of CentOS boxes)....
Second - the actual problem - the server that hosts our mirror site had a client limit of 256 ... we were hitting the default limit which I have now adjusted...;)
Thanks very much,
Paul

What are you trying to accomplish? You will always get a set of mirrors *close* to you regionally and the fastest-mirror plugin will try to determine which of those mirrors that is.
You will *NOT* get back your mirror, even if that is in your network. Well, it can happen, but it probably won't.
Just wondering if we need to wait another 24 hours before doing updates for our own system?
No. If you want to use your mirror, then configure yum to use your mirror. For example by installing a "yum-local-repo.rpm" which overwrites the original yum configuration.

Ralph
Ok.. it's working now anyways.
We have *always* gotten our own mirror which is what caused the confusion here. I'd rather avoid having to manually touch all our CentOS servers. ;)
Is there a reason why we normally wouldn't get our own mirror when it's in our core network?
Cheers,
Paul

The logic isn't there in the mirrorlist you are hitting. If you want to force your mirror (which you likely do), then edit your yum repo configs to point to your mirror using a baseurl setting instead of relying on centos' mirrorlist.

I run a CentOS and a Fedora mirror site.
For the Fedora mirror site, I can log in to Fedora's mirror administration site and define a set of ranges of IP addresses.
When the mirrorlist server receives a request from one of these IP addresses it would return my local mirror as the first choice, unless my mirror has become too old.
Quite useful.

Yes. We also know that our mirror system is a thing of, well, artisan beauty. We will be looking at other ways to manage our mirror system (make that: we will have to).
If people here want to help with that - I'm all for it. At the moment I have the Fedora system and SuSe's mirrorbrain on my reading/testing list.
I think this will need a new thread at some time.

FWIW, I read on Fedora's mirror list that there's a patch floating around to enable yum-plugin-fastestmirror do a more "advanced" check. It downloads repomd.xml and uses it to compare the download speed of every mirror.
Check comment #5 from this bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484371
It's not optimal but it might be useful.
Regards,
I would really like to see CentOS pickup something like fedora's mirroring system. I know CentOS is looking into it, just another vote for the new system :)
