Interesting, from our mirror it looks like these (and more) are absolute symlinks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Nov 14 2024 debian-15.2.16 -> /overflow/debian-15.2.16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Nov 14 2024 debian-15.2.17 -> /overflow/debian-15.2.17 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Nov 14 2024 debian-octopus -> /overflow/debian-octopus lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 14 2024 rpm-15.2.16 -> /overflow/rpm-15.2.16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 14 2024 rpm-15.2.17 -> /overflow/rpm-15.2.17 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 14 2024 rpm-octopus -> /overflow/rpm-octopus
Looks like it has been this way for quite some time based on our zfs snapshots:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 1109 1109 11 Aug 9 2022 .zfs/snapshot/2024-11-01-0620/rpm-octopus -> rpm-15.2.17 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 14 2024 .zfs/snapshot/2024-12-01-0620/rpm-octopus -> /overflow/rpm-octopus
If you need 15.2.16, a snapshot of it is accessible via: https://mirror.reenigne.net/ceph-snapshots/2024-11-01-0620/rpm-15.2.16/
Many thanks for the helpful mirroring of the snapshots! The way we noticed is since some of our older clients started to report: - Status code: 404 for https://download.ceph.com/rpm-octopus/el8/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 131.220.166.104) today when running DNF, so maybe the absolute symlink target "/overflow/" was only available on the download.ceph.com server and was purged today, or on a separate storage which failed... Cheers and thanks, Oliver

Dear Cephalopodians,
it seems that recently some directories were emptied / became inaccessible on download.ceph.com, for example (some randomly selected ones):
https://download.ceph.com/rpm-octopus https://download.ceph.com/rpm-15.2.16
As older releases such as:
https://download.ceph.com/rpm-mimic/
are still there, I presume this was not intentional, so I am alerting here in case there might for example be a file system problem on the download mirror.
Cheers, Oliver
