Bug 215003 – 194.29.128.2 syncing too often to masterdistfiles.gentoo.org (rsync.osuosl.org)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Mirrors

[Description Lance Albertson 2008-03-27 03:30:06 UTC]

I was digging around our logs and noticed that 194.29.128.2 is syncing the gentoo rsync module *every minute*. This is not acceptable and really is a abuse of our hardware. Please notify the mirror admin ASAP and have him change it to the 4hr policy you guys have. If you don't hear from him by 0000UTC tomorrow, I will ban their ip from our server.

Below is an excerpt from our logs:

Emil, 

Can you take a look at this right away? 

Please make sure this is fixed.

Solved.

This problem was caused by asterisk on minute position in crontab.

Really sorry !

Something still isn't quite right as I just checked the logs and still see it being synced every minute:
