Kelvin,

This is happening because only a few sites are allowed to rsync to the official CentOS DVD mirror. Many tier 1 mirrors, like mirror.ncsa.illinois.edu, are having to mirror their DVD images from other tier 1 mirrors, rather than directly from the CentOS official DVD mirror. So, you will see some variance in the DVD ISOs.

I help maintain a private mirror for my company. I recently found out that our mirror is still carrying CentOS DVD ISOs for 5.3 and 5.4. I deleted them, and my next rsync (from mirrors.kernel.org) brought them back.

I sampled a few of the other tier-1 mirrors (constraints: providing DVDs and RSYNC access, and first few on the mirror list) and found that:

• mirrors.kernel.org has 5.3 & 5.4 DVD isos.
• mirror.ncsa.illinois.edu has 5.3 and 5.4 DVD isos.
• mirror.steadfast.net has 5.3 and 5.4 DVD isos
• centos.mirror.netriplex.com has 5.3 and 5.4 DVD isos

Is there any reason to still keep these around? Can they be deleted from tehse mirrors (or the master mirrors) or should I modify my rsync scripts locally?

Thanks, Kelvin
