Bug 126263 – Exclude ftp.uni-muenster.de from rsync rotation.

• Product: Mirrors
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Mathias Hasselmann 2006-03-15 00:56:29 UTC]

When using rsync.de.gentoo.org as rsync mirror you'll enter ftp.uni-muenster.de from time to time. This server is extremly slow (maybe because it doesn't allow compression - don't know). Unless someone can tell how to explictly exclude this server from rotation for my host, I'd suggest to exclude this server from rsync mirror rotation. I know it is kind of impolite to reject a voluntary service like this, but the rsync services of ftp.uni-muenster.de really do not meet the high standards set by the Gentoo project.

May I know on what basis you're requesting this? 

I just did a quick test (a complete tree sync), this server is rsync16.de.gentoo.org:

$ time rsync -avP rsync16.de.gentoo.org::gentoo-portage gentoo-portage-rsync16-de/

sent 2805333 bytes  received 144079930 bytes  207905.54 bytes/sec
total size is 134866367  speedup is 0.92

real    11m47.043s
user    0m7.364s
sys     0m16.361s

And another random server from the rsync.de rotation:

$ time rsync -avP rsync.de.gentoo.org::gentoo-portage gentoo-portage-rsync-de/

sent 2424885 bytes  received 143925676 bytes  235101.30 bytes/sec
total size is 134866367  speedup is 0.92

real    10m22.779s
user    0m8.221s
sys     0m17.337s

I don't see any issues.

I'm CC'ing the server admin for his input as well.

Hi,

a am managing rsync16.de.gentoo.org, which is not located at the Uni Muenster, it is located at the University of applied sciences Lippe and Hoexter. Uni Muenster is some 100KM west of our location, and the server is named rsync14.de.gentoo.org. 

regards Martin

Sorry about getting the server wrong. Trying the same on rsync14...

$ time rsync -avP rsync14.de.gentoo.org::gentoo-portage gentoo-portage-rsync14-de/

sent 2805333 bytes  received 143848099 bytes  420813.29 bytes/sec
total size is 134867909  speedup is 0.92

real    5m48.657s
user    0m6.576s
sys     0m15.873s

CC ing the correct admin for his input.

Thanks martin, sorry about the wrong CC.

I don't see the issue either.

I did likewise tests (complete tree sync) locally yielding similar results as above (<2mins via the local network, external connection is 1GB).

Could you quantify "extremely slow" and specify in which situations the connection is that slow?

Bug time-out, marking Invalid.
