Thanks for the link! Reading the documentation I got the impression that for larger setups (with millions of files) one should use the inotify API for filling the hint database (see page 6 of the csync2 paper). Using this inotify idea would also allow more efficient syncing with an rsync script. Has anybody explored and documented this idea, with csync2 or rsync?
