cvsup7.us.freebsd.org disabled

[John Polstra]

Folks, the cvsup7.us.freebsd.org has filled up its hard drive. I have
disabled its cvsupd and I doubt that it will be coming back. The
machine is a 400 MHz Pentium II that must be 10 years old, at least. I
no longer live in Seattle where the machine is located, and can't
replace it or maintain it anymore myself. Could the DNS record be
redirected to another CVSup server that can handle some more load?

this machine was originally my silliness and john has been the hero to
maintain it.

if someone can figure out where to get a box or $1.5k to replace, i can
see it is installed and maintain it.

Randy, start a fundraiser, ask the FreeBSD foundation for help,etc.

there are a lot of mirrors in north america; though this one is
well-placed. imiho, the foundation money should go to code or to
infrastructure where it is hard/thin.

There are also a lot of FreeBSD users in North America... :-)

How busy are the other NA mirrors? I've been using cvsup7 for many
years now. I don't mind switching to some other mirror which has
plenty of spare capacity, but I wouldn't want to end up on a mirror
which is already heavily loaded.

In our case, not very. I don't think load is very evenly distributed.

Is that connects per day? Just curious...

I don't have any pretty graphs but occasionally I check what my servers
are seeing with this as a close approximation for how many successful
connects I get per day (newsyslog.conf set up to rotate the cvsupd.log
file at midnight daily):

#!/bin/csh -f

set path = (/bin /usr/bin)

cd /var/log
echo -n "cvsupd.log: "
grep "Finished successfully" cvsupd.log | wc -l

foreach i (cvsupd.log.?.bz2 cvsupd.log.??.bz2)
echo -n "${i}:"
cat $i | bunzip2 | grep "Finished successfully" | wc -l
end


I'm guessing the cvsup*.freebsd.org (TLD) servers see a LOT more than
the cvsup*.*.freebsd.org (regional) ones.

what are disk requirements for each of free, net, and open?

CVSUP is usually 2-3G, max 5GB. Multiplex by 5 for netbsd- (netbsd usually
has more archs to sup to) and you have an idea on space needed for start.Add
30% extra space for future use and you're set.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/dir.sizes - this gives you an idea of full
ftp FreeBSD mirror. Currently about 700GB
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/mirror.html - for netbsd
http://openbsd.org/cvsup.html - openbsd

For full ftp of 3 *BSD, in my opinion 2TB is a good start.

so about $2k for a box.

i can probably find the funds if it is needed. and it's just yet
another box to maintain, which is easy. but if it is not really needed,
i don't feel a pressing need for the glory.

This way we kept bg.freebsd.org running for 3 years.

In our case we've seen a jump starting this morning but we're pretty dead as well. I'm serving up for cvsup8.us.freebsd.org

http://mirrors.tds.net/mrtg/mirrors.tds.net.cvsupd.html

this is all 3 main BSDs, open, free and net (which we're cvsup.us.netbsd.org)

I temporarily shifted this to a server I've got here that had excess
capacity though I'll find a different fix in a little bit.

Just checking - what did you have the limit set to for concurrent
connects? Given your description of the machine I'm guessing 10-ish?

Thanks a lot for having provided the service all these years (not to
mention everything else you've done cvsup-wise through the years as
well...).

From memory, I think the limit was closer to 20. I just tried to login
there to double-check, but I got the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST
IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" message from ssh. I haven't changed the
host key, so I decided to stop right there. Possibly Randy knows what's
going on.

You're welcome. I rarely had to do anything to that machine. It's one
of the most reliable pieces of equipment I've ever seen. It's been
getting hammered by CVSup clients 24/7 for close to 10 years, and it's
still got all the original parts (even hard drives) except for the RAM,
which I changed out to ECC early on. I don't remember it ever crashing.
It has been up continuously without any attention from me ever since I
upgraded it to 4.11 almost 2 years ago. (Yes, I was paying attention to
security advisories. :-)

nope. dns change?

it was a stable box for sure! i am not seeing a lot of call for
replacing, so whack me if you feel otherwise.

Yep. Ken just gently reminded me in private mail that I had been trying
to login to the wrong (new) cvsup7.
