fedora-secondary mirror sync failing

[Ian Chilton]

Hi,

We provide a mirror of both fedora and fedora-secondary at:
https://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/

The fedora one seems to be updating fine, but on fedora-secondary we are
constantly getting:

---

Non-interactive session.  Logging to
/mirror/logs/mirror-updates/fedora-secondary.log.
----------------------------
Fedora Master Mirror Servers
----------------------------
If you are using bare rsync to sync content, please stop and
take a look at https://pagure.io/quick-fedora-mirror.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring for
further instructions.
----------------------------

@ERROR: max connections (20) reached -- try again later
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1666) [Receiver=3.1.2]

---

It does succeed sometimes - during the night about once every few days,
but gives this at other times.

It appears we're using: "rsync://dl.fedoraproject.org/fedora-secondary"

Please could you advise?

Thanks,

Ian

Did you try to sync from a tier 1 mirror closer to you? We would really
appreciate it if less mirrors would try to directly sync from our master
mirrors.

I wonder if they should simply be made tier one.  There are no UK/GB
mirrors of secondary content.  Otherwise I guess 
rsync://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/fedora-secondary
would be the closest mirror of that content.

If they are interested. That would be great. I just checked today on my
mirror and it requires 17TB, so it is probably not something everyone
can easily commit to.

Yes, I just deleted the heanet.ie mirror from the tier 1 list today as
they do not mirror Fedora at all. That was the closest tier 1 mirror.

The requirements for tier 1 are to mirror everything. But that can be
changed of course. Or they are just not an official tier 1 mirror, but
added to the tier 1 ACL because of fedora-secondary content.

That is my system and everybody is welcome to sync from there.
