Hello
Starting this week, the RLUG community operates three mirrors, all of them serving Centos content: ftp.ines.lug.ro, ftp.gts.lug.ro and ftp.nb.lug.ro. We mirror all archs, all versions. Content is available via ftp and http from all the servers. Due to space constrains, only ftp.nb.lug.ro carries the DVD isos. Available bandwitdh: 100 Mbps/each server. All mirrors sync every 6 hours. Country: Romania, Bucharest admin email: ftpadmin@lug.ro admin IRC: wolfy on #centos ( irc.freenode.net )
Please remove the previous settings, which were based on the round robin address ftp.lug.ro. That CNAME is still valid, but we prefer a finer grained reference.

I apologize, probably I was not clear. There are three different mirrors, hosted at 3 different ISP. ftp.nb.lug.ro is just one of them (and the only one which carries the DVD images). Please be as kind as to add the two others that I have mentioned, ftp.ines.lug.ro and ftp.gts.lug.ro . All three of them mirror the Centos4 and Centos 5.
As a different problem, it would be nice if it you could remove the mirrors from .pl and .cz from the list of repos returned by mirrorlist when country=ro. They are randomly picked if yum-fastestmirror is not installed and the access times are awful because there is no direct peering between Romania and those countries, connections are routed via Austria or Germany.
Thank you
Manuel

The current mapping is :-
ro => 'bg-pl-cz-hu-md'
do you think it should be at-de-bg-hu-md ???

Well... take what I say below with a little grain of salt (IOW: I might be wrong, but I do not think so):
I've done traceroutes to all .cz sites reported by http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=i386&repo=os&release=4&countr... using source IP addresses from 5 of our national providers; all without exception were routed via Vienna , Frankfurt or Greece->Italy (one of the largest providers routes ALL the traffic via a tunnel to Greece and connects to the world from there. This is the "advantage" of having the national phone company sold to OTE Greece) - http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=i386&repo=os&country=pl return 4 mirrors from .ro (!), two from Poland and three from .cz. The Poland mirrors are accessed either via Vienna or via Holland (telia.net) - http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=i386&repo=os&release=5&countr... return no mirrors in .md (despite the fact that I know that there exista at least one, I've spoken with their admin) but .ro, .pl and .cz - http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=i386&repo=os&country=bg replies with mirrors from .ro, .pl and .cz so I guess it's safe to ignore .bg when asking for Romanian mirrors
I've tested using source addresses from 4 of the major providers (in terms of number of users) + one smaller one. I am certain they cover at least 80-85% of the Romanian users (home + business together ). There is one other medium sized provider which I know for sure that also uses Austria / Germany / Holland as exit points. So, to cut it short, I am fairly sure that you can drop .pl and .cz (and even .hu) from the list of mirrors given by mirrorlist to Romanian users. As of Bulgaria... I see no mirror over there but OTOH despite being geographically very close, I have never heard of any direct peering between our countries. I cannot say what is best for Bulgarian users, but once again, I am fairy certain that Romanian mirrors are not the best choice for them. And probably neither are Polish ones. I know it's strange, but peering over here is not done under the same rules as it's done 4000 Km more to the west. You might be very well physically be only 5 meters aways from your next-door neighbor but 15 hops and 5000 KM away in terms of network connections. And I say that with the knowledge given by one year of work as network admin at one of the largest national providers.

Manuel

Could you please add ftp.ines.lug.ro and ftp.gts.lug.ro to the list of Romanian mirrors ? As far as I can see, they are not listed yet. Both serve data over ftp and http. All three of our mirrors carry Centos 4 and 5.

Hi
I would like to become a centos mirror but not exactly sure how. I did the rsync command (from the centos website). Is that all I have to do? How do I tell it update 2-4 times a day?
rsync -aqzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS /path/to/my/subdomain) I am running rsync 2.6.9-2 and the initial sync is in process.
Thanks
Bryan

you now have 3 entries on the mirror list Romanian Linux Users Group (nb,ines,gts), check if it ok ;)

The mirror list is already very large - would it not be better just to list those mirrors under a single dns entry that CentOS could use ??

Thank you, Tru. The list is not yet updated but I assume that in a couple of hours we'll see the changes

We have tried in the past to use round robin addresses ( ftp.centos.lug/ro/centos ), but in practice it proved to be a bad idea. I can elaborate about that on IRC if you want / need details. I strongly advocate for removing the 6 non Romanian sites from the list. This way we would have only 6 solid mirrors with 4 of them hosted by some of the largest Internet providers in the country. And as I have said before, given that there is no peering with .cz and .pl, including their sites in the list presented to Romanian users is a very poor choice which has no longer any justification, especially given the existence of a sufficient number of national mirrors.
