I tried to do something similar with imon+fam. To setup replication for clusters.
You can read an article on this at

It kinda worked but not on large directories. Something about file descriptor limitation. I havent played with it in a long time though.

If you succeed in fixing, it will be cool for setting up clusters without expensive storage hardwares.

cheers

Be looking at the archives, it seems that no one is using fam/imon at all. Is that true? Fam is included with RH 7.2, but I don't know off hand if anything is using it yet. I'm compiling imon into 2.4.16-pre1 right now. It didn't patch cleanly, but the .rej's didn't seem to bad.

I'm curious if it would be possible to monitor the whole filesystem with imon, or if I should look at a different route. There is another OS (Plan 9 I think) that will schedule a backup of a file shortly after any changes have been made. I'm looking to see if that is possible with existing code or if I should write my own. Either way, I'm not a kernel/filesystem hacker, so it will be a learning experience.

thanks
