-gsycnd, the Gluster Syncdaemon
-==============================
-
-REQUIREMENTS
-------------
-
-_gsyncd_ is a program which can operate either in _master_ or in _slave_ mode.
-Requirements are categorized according to this.
-
-* supported OS is GNU/Linux
-* Python >= 2.5, or 2.4 with Ctypes (see below) (both)
-* OpenSSH >= 4.0 (master) / SSH2 compliant sshd (eg. openssh) (slave)
-* rsync (both)
-* glusterfs with marker support (master); glusterfs (optional on slave)
-* FUSE; for supported versions consult glusterfs
-
-INSTALLATION
-------------
-
-As of now, the supported way of operation is running from the source directory.
-
-If you use Python 2.4.x, you need to install the [Ctypes module](http://python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/).
-
-CONFIGURATION
--------------
-
-gsyncd tunables are a subset of the long command-line options; for listing them,
-type
-
- gsyncd.py --help
-
-and see the long options up to "--config-file". (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. We try to set up the following mirrors
-for it with gysncd:
-
-1. _/data/mirror_
-2. local gluster volume _yow_
-3. _/data/far_mirror_ at example.com
-4. gluster volume _moz_ at example.com
-
-The respective gsyncd invocations are (demoing some syntax sugaring):
-
-1.
-
- gsyncd.py gluster://localhost:pop file:///data/mirror
-
- or short form
-
- gsyncd.py :pop /data/mirror
-
-2. `gsyncd :pop :yow`
-3.
-
- gsyncd.py :pop ssh://example.com:/data/far_mirror
-
- or short form
-
- gsyncd.py :pop example.com:/data/far_mirror
-
-4. `gsyncd.py :pop example.com::moz`
-
-gsyncd has to be available on both sides; it's location on the remote side has to be specified
-via the "--remote-gsyncd" option (or "remote-gsyncd" config file parameter). (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.)
