Hi all,

Sorry for posting this here and not on the rsync mailing list(im on enuff
mailinglists as it is :)

I am trying to set up a working rsync enviroment where i will make one
machine a complete mirror of on other (so that if the "master" goes down
all i need to do is to change ip adress and keep going (in theory).

The problem is, i have built a simple script with a single command line
that (for now) syncs the /tmp on the master to the slave.

Im using SSH and im logging in as root - even tough this i get permission
denied on some of the diretories (for example the one that Helix Gnome's
install program created when i ran it as root).

I know that the user specified in /etc/rsync.secrets dosent have anything
to do with the real users, but since im logging in as root trough SSH i
felt like i would have all the rights to sync whatever files i want ?

Is Rsync the best suited for this ? (i can live with a couple of minutes
of downtime - not more)

I looked at The Linux HA project - but it dosent seem finished ?

I also looked at Pirhana - and it seems to be primarly a load balance
cluster - i need a failover cluster.

I read the linuxworld article about the subject - and felt like there
wasnt really any finished GPLed products out there.(at least not to run at
customers that want HA.)

Should i look into GFS or anything like that ?

Could someone give some hints here - especially with the rsync thing to
start with.

Regards
