Yum FastestMirror plugin picks the fastest mirror out of a list provided from it, in the event of a mirror being offline it picks the next fastest and tries from there until it exhausts the list of mirrors it has cached or succeeds CentOS is fairly automated like that the other thing is that the mirror list checker will also remove your mirror from the list temporarily if it cannot connect to stop serving bad mirrors Kind regards, Anthony Somerset Somerset Technical Solutions Ltd. www.somersettechsolutions.co.uk Registered in the UK – Company no. 07738444 VAT Registration No: 140 6916 22 T: +44 (0) 33 0088 2751 E: anthony at somersettechsolutions.co.uk PGP: 0x7C892BF5 On 5 May 2013, at 22:19, squadra <squadra at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > since i run a highly frequented mirror, i wanted to ask if i should announce a short maintanance window (aprox. 2hrs)... or its it not needed because yum will take care about and takes the next avail. mirror? > > cheers. > > Juergen > > -- > Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-mirror mailing list > CentOS-mirror at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
