Hi,
I know this is a bit of a crazy idea, but I'd like to know if something
like this is (remotely) possible...
1) Take a server with a 10Gb (max) volume. This volume is live: files are
being added/deleted through ftp (Read/Write).
2) Take x clients which need to receive a synchronised copy of the
mentioned volume above. Contents have to be served out through http
(Read only).
Would it be possible to say make a level 0 dump every night, a level 1
dump every hour, and a level 2 dump every 5 minutes (or use even more
levels?) and then restore these dumps on the clients to keep their volumes
synchronised?
Reason I'm asking this is I'm looking for a way to distribute only changes
in a filesystem. Rsync has to scan the whole filesystem and just takes to
long.
Groet,
