16 Jul '12

Hello all together, as I am using Archlinux for a few month now, I have decided, to give a small amount back to the community. I have set up a mirror for it, which can be enabled by adding this line to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist: Server = http://mirror.michael-eckert.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch hope I can help with this. Best regards, Michi aka ArcRaven (AUR) -- You must be the change you wish to see in the world ( Mahatma Gandhi)

by Dénes Türei 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hello, i just subscribed to the arch-mirrors mailing list, because i'm trying to start an Arch mirror on a university server maintained by me. This is the address of the new mirror: http://biometria.elte.hu/archlinux/ And i added this line to the system's crontab: 44 * * * * rsync -rtlvH --delete-after --delay-updates --safe-links --max-delete=1000 rsync://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/ /srv/http/archlinux/ Could you check if everything is ok with that? Should i do anything else?

[arch-mirrors] UK2 Arch mirror hardware upgrade complete and IP change
by David Precious 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi all, For any of you who'd decided to stop syncing from the UK2 Arch mirror (mirrors.uk2.net) the new high-spec server is now in action, and mirrors.uk2.net has been changed to resolve to the IP of the new box - 83.170.94.3. The problem with the previous server was primarily that its discs couldn't keep up with the demand, so it was spending a lot of time in IO wait. It has been replaced by a box with SAS drives in RAID10, 24GB of RAM for plentiful caching, and dual quad-core Xeons - so should be far more capable of handling the load. Therefore, those of you desiring to sync from a UK mirror but who were put off by previous problems, firstly please accept my apologies, and secondly, you should find things *much* better now. If you happen to see any issues, of course, please do let me know, but all appears to be working well. Cheers Dave P -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp(a)preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github

[arch-mirrors] New Tier 1 Mirror
by Jakob Wadsager 29 May '12

29 May '12

Leaseweb.net[1] has become a tier 1 mirror as of yesterday. They have servers in US, Germany and the Netherlands. If you elect to start syncing from LeaseWeb, please let me know in a response to this message. I take this opportunity to encourage all tier 2 mirrors let me know what their current upstream is, so we can have our database updated. [1]http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/leaseweb.net Best regards, Jakob

[arch-mirrors] If your are syncing of UK2, switch to LeaseWeb
by Jakob Wadsager 27 May '12

27 May '12

Hello, Our uk2 mirror has had some problems recently, and unfortunately they haven't been resolved yet[1]. Therefore we recommend that all tier 2 mirrors that sync off the uk2 mirror switch to our LeaseWeb mirror. Feel free to switch back to UK2, when the problems are resolved. [1]I've been told they're working on it though. Best regards, Jakob

[arch-mirrors] UK2-hosted UK Arch mirror - server upgrade soon
by David Precious 17 May '12

17 May '12

Further to the previous thread with regards to slow performance of the UK Arch mirror hosted by UK2, new hardware is being prepared now, and I plan to get it into use as soon as possible, within the next day or two. The current box is struggling to keep up IO-wise, so it is being replaced by a far faster box with SAS drives in RAID10 and plenty of RAM for caching. For avoidance of doubt, I'm talking about our UK tier-1 mirror: http://archlinux.mirrors.uk2.net/ ftp://mirrors.uk2.net/pub/archlinux/ rsync://mirrors.uk2.net/archlinux
