A new gentoo-portage European mirror has borned :) Server data: - IP: 193.226.140.51 - DNS: ftp.lug.ro - location: Bucharest, ROMANIA - bandwidth: 100Mbit - mirror admin: ftpadm@lug.ro - concurrent connections limit: no limit Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I've made a mistake. I don't have the root password on that machine (I'm only the admin of gentoo mirror) and I forgot to speak with sys admin about this new rsync mirror. The new mirror will be available at rsync://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo-portage as soon as possible.
*** Bug 31629 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I noticed the connection is "gentoo" and not "gentoo-portage". Also, for backwards compatibility, we need a "gentoo-x86-portage". Will you be able to make those changes? See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml for more info. Thanks.
The sys admin made the gentoo-portage available through rsync://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo-portage and rsync://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo-x86-portage. We want to make this mirror available through rsync.ro.gentoo.org (rsync2.ro.gentoo.org) I see you've marked bug 31629 as duplicate of this one. This bug is reffering to a complete ftp mirror, not a portage mirror. This mirror is available at ftp://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo rsync://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo We want to make this mirror the first Romanian public mirror. Organisation name is "Romanian Linux Users Group". P.S. Both mirrors are synchronizing in concordance with gentoo policies: */30 * * * * for portage 3-23/4 * * * * for source (GMT+3)
I've added 193.226.140.51 to the access list for rsync1.us.gentoo.org. You'll be able to sync with rsync1.us in about 30 minutes. 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.
I've switched to rsync1.us.gentoo.org.
Do you have anything running around 19:50 UTC that might interfere with syncing? The "missing" timestamp and the late one following it are clues that something else is running using up alot of resources. Otherwise, its been syncing fine. Checked (UTC) Timestamp ================================================ 19:20:05 Thu, 23 Oct 2003 18:50:00 +0000 OK 19:53:12 timestamp missing (19:20) 20:20:08 Thu, 23 Oct 2003 18:50:00 +0000 (19:50)
I forgot to mention the times in () are expected timestamps.
I don't have anything which could interfere with sync. The only strange thing is that I didn't receive the failure on email. I am also the admin on rsync1.ro.gentoo.org and I did receive the following failure report on date mentioned by you. The difference between rsync1.ro.gentoo.org and ftp.lug.ro is in rsync timeout value: -auq --partial --delete --timeout 180. respectively -auq --partial --delete --timeout 300 I think it was a network error, probably caused by some BGP routers.

I wouldn't think the differences in timeout would be a factor, do you? There are still some syncs missing, but they only seem to be happening for one sync (so the mirror is only out of sync by 30 minutes). There isn't any room in rsync.europe, so it will only be added as a .ro mirror, which would obviously only affect those syncing with .ro. We can add it on a "trial" basis, and as long as it doesn't go out of sync too far and users don't complain, I don't have a problem with it. If it is a problem with routers, hopefully it'll clear up.

I did mention that I want to be a mirror for .ro only. About sync errors... In this weekend I had some failures on both mirrors (rsync1.ro.gentoo.org and ftp.lug.ro). Cause of failures was: - temporary failure in name resolution (it cannot be a local DNS mis-configuration because these 2 servers are on different networks & providers) - timeout - access denied (on both servers!!!) What is going on? Problems on rsync1.us.gentoo.org?
We did have a problem beginning around Sun, 26 Oct 2003 20:50:00 +0000, but that should be resolved now.
As I mentioned, I think we've fixed the problem. I could be mistaken, but we haven't heard any complaints from other mirrors or users. There's definately some problem though. Can you see if you are still getting access denied errors? Checked (UTC) Timestamp (Expected) ========================================================== 05:50:08 Mon, 27 Oct 2003 04:50:01 +0000 (05:20) 16:20:04 Mon, 27 Oct 2003 15:19:59 +0000 (15:50) 21:50:04 Mon, 27 Oct 2003 20:50:01 +0000 (21:20) 23:20:04 Mon, 27 Oct 2003 22:50:01 +0000 (OK) 23:50:03 timestamp missing 00:20:04 timestamp missing 00:50:03 timestamp missing 01:20:04 timestamp missing 01:50:03 timestamp missing 02:20:03 timestamp missing 02:50:03 timestamp missing 03:20:03 timestamp missing 03:50:04 Tue, 28 Oct 2003 03:20:01 +0000 (OK)
All errors that I've received was timeout errors (now I use timeout == 300 seconds on both) but never 2 consecutive ones. Last 2 errors appeared on both servers (rsync1.ro.gentoo.org and ftp.lug.ro) on: 6:06 UTC 7:07 UTC Probably Romanian backbone has some problems. Until now, on rsync1.ro.gentoo.org I had about an timeout error or two per week. Is it possible that you see an "host unreachable" error as "timestamp missing"?
Yes, "timestamp missing" could be "host unreachable". All it indicates is that I couldn't get the file. Some day, I may get around to improving the script.
The syncs have been OK for a couple of days, so hopefully you were correct about it being a router problem. This server is now rsync2.ro.gentoo.org. Please update the motd file to include that information. Thanks for supporting Gentoo.
