(The leading double dash should be omitted; -interim underscores and dashes are interchangeable.) The set of options bear some resemblance -to those of glusterfs and rsync. - -The config file format matches the following syntax: - - <option1>: <value1> - <option2>: <value2> - # comment - -By default (unless specified by the option `-c`), gsyncd looks for config file at _conf/gsyncd.conf_ -in the source tree. - -USAGE ------ - -gsyncd is a utilitly for continous mirroring, ie. it mirrors master to slave incrementally. -Assume we have a gluster volume _pop_ at localhost.

(This option can also be -used for setting options on the remote side, although the suggested mode of operation is to -set parameters like log file / pid file in the configuration file.) |
