Hi, I'm a sysadmin at Cambrium BV in the Netherlands. We are a company that provides DSL access and hosting to customers of different ISP's. I've set up a full gentoo-source and gentoo-portage mirror for ftp, http and rsync. Can it be added to the list of official mirrors? The server can be found at http://mirror.cambrium.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ http://mirror.cambrium.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo-portage/ ftp://mirror.cambrium.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.cambrium.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo-portage/ rsync://mirror.cambrium.nl/gentoo rsync://mirror.cambrium.nl/gentoo-portage The mirror can be accessed via ipv4 (217.19.16.188) and ipv6 (2a02:58:3:2:80::1) Grtz, Mark van Herpen Cambrium BV mirrors at cambrium.nl Reproducible: Always
Mark, Thanks for wanting to help out gentoo with a mirror. I've added your mirror to our test system and we'll keep you posted on the results. In the meanwhile, can you please let us know the hardware specs of the machine, bandwidth and how many concurrent users you plan to support? Thanks!
Shyam, Cambrium is connected directly on the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) with 1 20Gig link and 1 10G link. We have a total of 10 Gig transit connected to our transit partners. The mirror server is connected with a 1G link to our core routers. The server has got a 3.0 Gig Xeon processor with 8 gig of ram. The configuration for http,ftp and rsync is that there can be max 250 connections to each service. There has never been a 'max connection limit reached' on the services, but if it's necessary we can change this. Grtz, Mark van Herpen Cambrium BV mirrors at cambrium.nl
Hi Mark, The http distfiles mirror seems okay : mirror.cambrium.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ is in sync, current delta : 5.18 hours Timestamp on Mirror : Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:00:02 +0000 Current time in UTC : Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:11:05 +0000 The ftp mirror has an issue, we can't even connect to it : *ERROR* : return value of wget during mirrorcheck was 1 *ERROR* : return value of wget for release timestamp check was 1 rsync is okay as well (for distfiles) but gentoo-portage has a lag : *ERROR* : gentoo-portage mirror is lagging by over 40 mins, lag is : 56.17 mins Timestamp on Mirror : Sun, 17 Aug 2008 02:15:01 +0000 Current time in UTC : Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:11:11 +0000 Can you please look into ftp and sync gentoo-portage from rsync1.de.gentoo.org? Thanks
Hi Shyam, I've fixed the FTP issue and added this service to our monitoring system. I've also changed the rsync host, this was rsync.nl.gentoo.org and is now rsync1.de.gentoo.org. Can you see if these changes have fixed the problem? Grtz, Mark

Distfiles seems to have an issue, you'll need to sync once every 4 hours as mentioned at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml Right now, there's a lag : *ERROR* : distfiles is over 5.5 hours behind, lag is : 6.01 hours Timestamp on Mirror : Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:10:06 +0000 Current time in UTC : Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:10:44 +0000 rsync (gentoo-portage) seems to be fine now : mirror.cambrium.nl is in sync, current delta : 24.6 mins Timestamp on Mirror : Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:46:02 +0000 Current time in UTC : Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:10:38 +0000
Hi Shyam, Rsyncing the distfiles from rsync1.de.gentoo.org/gentoo doesn't work, only the the gentoo-portage rsync works from this mirror. I've scheduled the cronjob 5 minutes later every 4 hour, and sync from a Dutch mirror. Now it should work. But this is just a temporary fix I guess, because I see in the rsync-gentoo.sh script that we can sync from the main server after the mirror is added and we've recieved a username and password? Grtz, Mark

As mentioned in the doc in comment #5, you should be syncing from ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles > I've scheduled the cronjob 5 minutes later every 4 hour, and sync from a Dutch > mirror. Now it should work. It looks okay now. mirror.cambrium.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ is in sync, current delta : 3.17 hours Timestamp on Mirror : Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:03 +0000 Current time in UTC : Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:10:13 +0000 > But this is just a temporary fix I guess, because I see in the rsync-gentoo.sh > script that we can sync from the main server after the mirror is added and > we've recieved a username and password? Yes, that is correct. I'll let the checks run for this week and add you in.
