Well, rsync isn't real-time data duplication. It's like an intelligent
rcp. What if a database got created and updated and then the host
system crashed 20 seconds before the rsync was scheduled to run? The
data is lost until the original server comes back up. I'd like a
Linux-based software alternative to the super-expensive external RAID
towers that have multiple independent SCSI buses. They run for $10k
each, and you can connect multiple machines into them, which will all
mount the array simultaneously. Any node can go down at any time,
regardless of any cron schedule, and no data will be lost. But thanks
for the suggestion.
