Hi! After having wrestled with rsync and several patches I found a solution to synchronize block devices: BDsync.
Bdsync can be used to synchronize block devices over a network. It generates a "binary diff" in an efficient way by comparing MD5 checksums of 32k blocks of block devices. This binary diff can be applied to "destination" after which the local blockdevices are synchronized. bdsync was built to do the only thing rsync isn't able to do: synchronize block devices. But I would actually like rsync or another tool te replace bdsync ASAP. Interrested people can download the sources from: http://bdsync.rolf-fokkens.nl/ Rolf
