for the sizes (at this time) : 22G for 3.4 15G for 4.0 yum.conf : simply replace mirror.centos.org/centos with your http server/path --------------- [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 [update] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 ... -------------- for the scripts, it is preferred to use lockfiles, preventing multiple copies running concurrently, and setting bandwidth limits (in KB/s). Put the script in your crontab, running once a day or more. as the team wrote : Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public CentOS mirror use a mirror listed at http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the notes at :- http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15 as Shaun wrote (with little modifications): --------------[CODE]---------------- #!/bin/sh RSYNC="/usr/bin/rsync" RSYNC_OPTS="-aHv --delete --bwlimit=512 " if [ -f "/var/run/mirror.pid" ]; then RUNPID=`cat /var/run/mirror.pid` if ps -p $RUNPID; then echo "Mirror is already running..." exit 1 else echo "Mirror pid found but process dead, cleaning up" rm -f /var/run/mirror.pid fi else echo "No Mirror Process Detected" fi echo $$ > /var/run/mirror.pid echo -n "Mirror Started at " date #CentOS Mirror $RSYNC $RSYNC_OPTS msync.centos.org::CentOS /path/to/local/mirror/root echo -n "Mirror Ended at " date rm -f /var/run/mirror.pid ------------------------------------ for the archives, look at the bottom of your post, there is an url.

Could someone reply with the sizes of the 3.4 and 4.0 subdirectories ? should be as simple as " find /path/to/mirror/centos -type d -exec du -shS {} \; " Also, how can I search the archives of this mailing list ? (I would like to know preferred cron method for rsync, and howto configure yum to point to my mirror) thanks, -Jason _______________________________________________ CentOS-mirror mailing list CentOS-mirror at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror
