Hi all, Got Jonathan's announcement tabout 9.4 syncing soon (yay), however, when I checked Cloud Propeller's mirror status on the website - it shows as expired. This is odd since we are syncing, or so I believe. *[Cursory check]* - https://rsync.repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/TIME and - https://mirror.cloudpropeller.com/almalinux/TIME *...

The TIME and timestamp.txt file updater scripts weren't working on one of the 3 rsync sources. This is fixed now and the "expired" status should resolve itself within 15 minutes of your next sync that grabs the update files. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Yes we're going to be removing the certs from all hosts behind rsync.repo.almalinux.org - there's no need for them there. The web side of them is really just to make browsing and checking on them easier. On Fri, May 3, 2024 at 12:20 PM Roberto Alvarado <mirrors@hnd.cl> wrote:

Howdy, I am seeing my mirror (and a lot of others <https://mirrors.almalinux.org/>) once again in Expired status ... When trying to rsync, I get: /usr/bin/rsync -avSH --exclude='.~tmp~' --delete-delay --delay-updates rsync://rsync.repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/ /var/www/html/almalinux/ *@ERROR: max connections (555) reached -- try again laterrsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1680) [Receiver=3.1.3]* I am wondering if there's an issue w/ rsync running on rsync.repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/ Please advise. Thank you. Note, my TIME file has 1720766184 (16 hours ago), but it should be 1720821179 (40 minutes ago).

Hi Peter Maybe the rsync repo of Alma might be overwhelmed? Tried rsync from other places yet which have ok status? We've actually used a conditional approach to this. Whenever the main rsync repo has capacity problems, we try it from one of the other mirrors supporting rsync.

Ankesh, There aren't capacity issues in terms of bandwidth but we may need to raise the connection limit (again). The limit is mostly arbitrary. I'll do this ASAP but I can't look into this at the exact moment. We also currently have one of our rsync mirrors out of the mix right now for maintenance which has the others under increased load (but still nowhere near the bandwidth capacity on our pipes). With the EOL of CentOS 7 it's very likely the unique number of connections hitting the rsync mirrors is up. I'll look into this ASAP and let you know when it is remedied.

Thank you both for the heads up... For the moment so I am not out of sync, I switched to https://mirror.facebook.net/almalinux/ - if anyone has bandwidth or higher limits on things, it should be them :) Also I get to hit them via IPv6 at over 100 Gbit so that should be fun :) Jonathan, FYI - I added another Cloud Propeller mirror via pull request <https://github.com/AlmaLinux/mirrors/pull/1070>. Once that one is approved - we will be contributing 2 total :) This one is also behind an Ohio IX <https://ohioix.net/> internet exchange w/ *dual* *100 G's *to local peers - so it should be quite useful in Ohio.

I didn't have long to look but I went ahead and raise the connection limit on the one I bet you were hitting. Let me know if this solved it for you. If not I can look closer later. On Fri, Jul 12, 2024 at 5:56 PM Jonathan Wright <jonathan@almalinux.org> wrote:

Limit up worked, I can sync again from the official one as well.

It seems that the status of the Cloud Propeller mirror might be outdated, as the sync times match, meaning the sync is actually happening. I would recommend checking the sync logs for any errors. It’s likely just a delay in updating the status on the website. We discussed a similar situation during a meeting about https://wellpin.io/ with colleagues — the system showed outdated information, but everything was actually working fine.
