rsync.bluedevil.ca 216.194.67.33 gentoo@euphoric.ca I would like to become an offical rsync mirror. Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
What does the server have for CPU and RAM? Also, what kind of bandwidth does it have available and what is the max user limit? Thanks.
As stated in the rsync motd, dual p3-1ghz w/ 2GB ram. 10mbit connection, 20 user limit for the moment, may raise or lower slightly depending on bandwidth usage/server load.
Also, if I'm finding 10mbit is not enough, I may change the port to 100, depending again on how much monthly bandwidth there is due to the rsyncd. Thanks :]
OK, I've added 216.194.67.33 to the access list for rsync1.us.gentoo.org. Please update your rsync cron jobs to point to rsync1.us.gentoo.org and post back here when you've done so. We'll monitor the server for a couple days to make sure things are working fine. Thanks.
rsync cron jobs changed to rsync1.us.gentoo.org @ 2:30am MST 8/18/03 Seems to be working well so far, let me you know if you see any problems.
The server was going along for quite some time without problems. Unfortunately, it seems to have died with "Wed, 20 Aug 2003 20:16:00 +0000" (date -uR format) being the last sync. Is the cron job still running OK. Anything else out of the ordinary? A sync completing at :16 is very unusual.
Everything seems to be functioning normally, and the logs report that the sync has been successful ever since. Here are the logs created for that time according the time zone, (-uR) Started update at Wed Aug 20 12:30:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 12:30:58 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 13:00:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 13:01:04 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 13:30:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 13:31:19 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 14:00:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 14:01:45 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 14:30:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 14:31:03 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 15:00:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 15:00:59 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 15:30:00 MDT 2003 End: Wed Aug 20 15:31:08 MDT 2003 Started update at Wed Aug 20 16:00:00 MDT 2003 everything seems to have synced fine on my end, after going through the more detailed logs, all cron jobs were completed properly. Do you have any idea how I may find what happened here? I am at a loss at the moment.
For some reason I can still sync properly to other sites, but not rsync1.us.gentoo.org anymore. I get no response from the server at all at this address. That address is resolving to 128.193.0.34 for me, is this correct?
seems to be working now, i performed a manual sync and this was the result. rsync --recursive --verbose --links --perms --times --devices --delete --timeout=600 rsync://rsync1.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage /opt/gentoo-rsync/portage/ cat portage/metadata/timestamp.chk Thu, 21 Aug 2003 00:53:01 +0000
Very strange. I'm not too familiar with rsync troubleshooting, so I have no idea what might have happened. I'll see if anyone else has any insights. In the meantime, I'll keep watching the syncs.
It seems to be working now, those logs I posted are there only because it timed out after 600s. I have switched on verbose logging so I can make sure data is coming in from the master server as well. Thanks :]
I'm mainly posting this information for reference. There are still some problems, but I'm not familiar enough with rsync to suggest any options. I'll see if I can get someone to take a look. "..." indicates successful syncs.

I've gone through the logs and as far as I can tell I did not receive the time stamp from the server, all other files were updated at the correct time. Same thing happened at the other times mentioned. I will try and see what is going on as much as i can from here, any help anyone could offer would be appreciated.

There's a good chance this server has fallen victim to rsync1.us being overloaded. As a result, some servers aren't syncing properly. I'm going to monitor the server again for a couple of days to see if the problem is still there. If it is, we'll have to put this on hold until we're able to resolve the problem. Will update in a couple of days.
Looking good so far. If problems don't show up, I'll be make this a mirror on Friday or Saturday.
This server is now rsync4.ca.gentoo.org. Please update the motd file to include that information. I've subscribed <gentoo@euphoric.ca> to our gentoo-mirrors mailing list (low volume). This list is used to discuss mirror-related issues. Thanks for supporting Gentoo.
Thanks, glad I could help =)
