Message-ID: <4323E3C0.1090109@tuxrocks.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4323E3C0.1090109%40tuxrocks.com ``` -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Something appears to be something odd going on with the git repos on kernel.org, including both the git and linux trees. I believe that I've tracked down the problem to differences that occur between the repos located at the various IPs that kernel.org translates to (zeus-pub1: 204.152.191.5 and zeus-pub2: 204.152.191.37). In this case, it appears that the repo located at zeus-pub1 has been updated, but the changes haven't propagated over to zeus-pub2 yet. The result is that one call fetches a list of objects, but the next call goes to the other IP, and it can't find an object it needs, so it ends up dying. This is probably a temporary error that will periodically (and probably very rarely) occur when pulling from a source with more than a single IP and some lag before the mirror is updated. Is this an issue that we need to watch for and program around (other than forcing www.kernel.org's IP in /etc/hosts), or is it just one of those things that should be such a rare occurrance that we shouldn't have to worry about it?

From a gitweb perspective, one of the servers appears to be about 24 hours out of date as of Sun Sep 11 15:50:53 UTC 2005. Broken rsync process? ``` ## Nathan Laredo, 2005-09-11 18:26 Subject: Re: git problems on Kernel.org?

Broken rsync process? The filesystem on one of the machines got remounted read-only, so nothing was being updated. -- Nathan Laredo laredo@kernel.org ```
