I'd like to do the following to prevent our rsync hosts such as secondary1 from being overloaded. diff --git a/configs/system/rsync.xinetd b/configs/system/rsync.xinetd index 8976dd7..f5b5dbc 100644 --- a/configs/system/rsync.xinetd +++ b/configs/system/rsync.xinetd @@ -10,4 +10,7 @@ service rsync server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon log_on_failure += USERID + instances = 10 + per_source = 2 + max_load = 20 } diff --git a/configs/system/rsyncd.conf.secondary b/configs/system/rsyncd.conf.secondary index 6c12db1..9101e05 100644 --- a/configs/system/rsyncd.conf.secondary +++ b/configs/system/rsyncd.conf.secondary @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ syslog facility = daemon dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.bz2 *.iso use chroot = false transfer logging = false +timeout = 600 [fedora-secondary] path = /srv/pub/fedora-secondary This limits the number of simultaneous rsync clients to 10, at most 2 per IP (I had to kill a client with 10 open connections), establishes a max load above which it stops serving clients, and establishes a 10 minute I/O timeout (no I/O after 10 minutes, close the connection). These numbers are completely arbitrary, but should decrease the load seen on secondary1, which tonight was at 04:57:21 up 15 days, 11:42, 1 user, load average: 95.35, 136.54, 99.04 Acks please.
