Hi Sriram, I believe, it's must something wrong, either that server or mine, could you help me to identify it? First, I think the .~tmp~ directory is private, shouldn't in downstream sync list, and Second, in China, the sync speed is very slow (under 100KB/s at most time), and the .~tmp~ has huge size (many GB), will cause too many days to sync, and after, useless. This issue only happen when I sync from the centosx4 server, I had to terminated it manual each time, or waste days time. My sync script: rsync -4aHvP --delete-delay --timeout=90 msync.centos.org::CentOS /var/www/mirrors.neusoft.edu.cn/htdocs/centos/ How can I modify it to make it better? -----Original Message----- From: CentOS-mirror <centos-mirror-bounces at centos.org> On Behalf Of Prof. P.

Ahh, isn't this "normal" behaviour, showing that an upstream sync was in progress? Having approriate rsync option (like --delay-updates or something like that) should take care of this, both at centosx4 and the downstream mirror, no? -- sriram _______________________________________________ CentOS-mirror mailing list CentOS-mirror at centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror
