I tried to do something similar with imon+fam. To setup replication for
clusters.
You can read an article on this at
http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2001/article199.shtml
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
