I do not understand why you do not use Glusterfs in replication mode!? ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel Müller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 Tübingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: mueller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:samba-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Charles Tryon Gesendet: Montag, 30. April 2012 20:51 An: Samba list Betreff: Re: Synchronizing multiple samba servers The "-u" option does skip "newer" files on the receiver, but it still doesn't do the full bi-directional sync. You could script to fire off a second rsync to do the sync back again, but then you'd have to handle the details of resolving (or at least saving) conflicts. I think the point of the "unison" program is that they've already thought through all those weird combinations for you.
