The high availability howto suggests using rsync to synchronise the data areas of two data servers. That is an _extremely bad_ idea. I've suggested before that the link be removed, because it recommends something almost guaranteed to introduce massive database corruption at some point. If there's no load and you have a fast network, you might get lucky. But it is an extremely dangerous plan.
