hi:

ftp.ncnu.edu.tw (163.22.12.51) provides the rsync service, and we would like to be a master sync mirror.

http://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/Linux/CentOS/ ftp://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/Linux/CentOS/

rsync://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/centos/ (everything except dvd.iso) rsync://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/centos-incdvd/ (everything including dvd.iso)

Due to unknowns trying to download dvd.iso images from our msync-dvd servers we have now had to restrict the rsync target to those mirrors that we know are syncing.

We want to restrict it further to those that are providing master sync service for other mirrors, this will allow us to plan for future releases to be able to preset the dvd isos onto those master mirrors before release and dedicate bandwidth for that.

The current mirrors that are allowed to sync by the config are :-

    #pacific.net.au         61.8.0.17
    #kernel.org             204.152.191.4 204.152.191.36
    #upce.cz                195.113.124.9
    #mirrorservice.org      212.219.56.140
    #esslingen.de           129.143.116.10
    #ncnu.edu.tw            163.22.12.51
    #vutbr.cz               147.229.176.19
    #ftp.chg.ru             193.233.9.194

Of those only 4 - kernel.org, mirrorservice.org, esslingen.de and chg.ru have told us that they allow rsync, which has to be a prerequisite for being a master sync mirror.

If any of those are not happy to be listed as a master sync mirror for the dvd isos , or have limits on bandwidth or resources that may be affected then please advise us.

We would be grateful if the others would change their config to sync the dvd iso images from one of those, which will probably provide faster download than our servers anyway.

We will start to list all mirrors that carry dvd iso images on the website and will shortly redirect browsing on mirror.centos.org to those local mirrors that have the dvd isos and are up to date, as we do for cd isos. The main difference is that we will only check currency of mirrors that are flagged in the database as carrying dvds.

We do still need more master sync mirrors but you will not be able to sync the target without first notifying us (or do initial sync against one of the sync masters and then request access - as we would prefer sync masters to eventually sync directly from our servers).

In particular csmb.edu has said that they will be a master sync mirror but does not appear to be syncing the incdvd target.

Regards Lance

hi:

I prefer that the second rsync target, rsync://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/centos-incdvd/, is listed on the website mirror listing.

thanks.

OK - I have added you to the list - and we will try to work in you having 2 separate rsync targets. I am guessing that you want the one listed on our website mirror listing to not include the dvd iso images ???

Hello Lance,

Could you be so kind and allow access to ftp.tlk-l.net 213.133.165.98? And we have always been providing rsync access. Meanwhile, I am getting the dvd isos from kernel.org.

Ok - I have added you to the acl - please bear in mind that this does mean that you will eventually be listed as a source of dvd isos for other mirrors .

Regards Lance
