One option you can try is a custom fam client which "watches" directories for change and then uses rsync to update the remote server. I had started on a python app to do just that, but because of the large number of files I needed to monitor, found that fam wasn't up to the task, if your needs are smallish - only a couple thousand files, then something like that might work for you, you can also try using the dnotify package and a simple bash script. The real holy grail sort of solution is a combination of drbd and opengfs, unfortunately integration of those two systems, while planned, is not yet implemented. If a failover sort of setup will work for you, you can use drbd with heartbeat to give you automated failover and synchronization. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
