Hello Hans, It depends on what you really want to achieve by "synchronize". 1. If you just want to make an 'impression' that anything happens in folder1 will be 'synchronized' instantly to folder2, then you can mount --bind folder1 to folder2: mount --bind /home/hans/folder1 /home/hans/folder2 2. But if you want to provide a backup function too, so that if anything happens in folder1, there is a backup available in folder2, you can use rsync: rsync -a /home/hans/folder1 /home/hans/folder2 And put that command in crontab for to be running say.. 3 minutes.
