Yes, if you want to either code up a fuse filesystem that makes it appear that there is a hierarchy of files present, that would work with an unmodified rsync --whole-files using --write-batch (assuming that you made the fuse filesystem discard the file data and update the file info). Other than that, you'd need to dig into the various stat(), readdir(), etc. functions that the receiving side calls and direct them to a DB. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
