Question Help!! Yum Ioerror?


OS: RHEL5.1
I created a local yum repo. It worked fine in the last a few months, but today I got the following error message when using yum to install rpms (yum list still works).

Trying other mirror.
Error: failed to retrieve nmap-frontend-4.11-1.1.i386.rpm from Server

I also tried the pirut. Here is error message:

Here is my repo file:

baseurl=file:///Data/RHEL5.1/Server/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
I also tried (autofs works):
Quote:
baseurl=file:///misc/cd/Server/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
I searched on Google but still don't know why this happens. I used yum to install some rpms yesterday! But it symply doesn't work now.
I didn't change any thing on my system. Strange~~~
