CSYNC2(1) General Commands Manual CSYNC2(1) NAME
csync2 - cluster synchronization tool, 2nd generation SYNOPSIS
csync2 [-v..] [-C config-name] [-D database-dir] [-N hostname] [-p port]... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the csync2 command. A verbose manual can be found on the csync2 homepage: http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/paper.pdf csync2 is a program for cluster synchronization. OPTIONS
With file parameters: -h [-r] file.. Add (recursive) hints for check to db -c [-r] file.. Check files and maybe add to dirty db -u [-d] [-r] file.. Updates files if listed in dirty db -f file.. Force this file in sync (resolve conflict) -m file.. Mark files in database as dirty Simple mode: -x [-d] [[-r] file..] Run checks for all given files and update remote hosts. Without file parameters: -c Check all hints in db and eventually mark files as dirty -u [-d] Update (transfer dirty files to peers and mark as clear) -H List all pending hints from status db -L List all file-entries from status db -M List all dirty files from status db -S myname peername List file-entries from status db for this synchronization pair. -T Test if everything is in sync with all peers. -T filename Test if this file is in sync with all peers. -T myname peername Test if this synchronization pair is in sync. -T myname peer file Test only this file in this sync pair. -TT As -T, but print the unified diffs. Notice: The modes -H, -L, -M and -S return 2 if the requested db is empty. The mode -T returns 2 if both hosts are in sync. -i Run in inetd server mode. -ii Run in stand-alone server mode. -iii Run in stand-alone server mode (one connect only). -R Remove files from database which do not match config entries. Modifiers: -r Recursive operation over subdirectories -d Dry-run on all remote update operations -B Do not block everything into big SQL transactions. This slows down csync2 but allows multiple csync2 processes to access the data- base at the same time. Use e.g. when slow lines are used or huge files are transferred. -A Open database in asynchronous mode. This will cause data corruption if the operating system crashes or the computer loses power. -I Init-run. Use with care and read the documentation first! You usually do not need this option unless you are initializing groups with really large file lists. -X Also add removals to dirty db when doing a -TI run. -U Don't mark all other peers as dirty when doing a -TI run. -G Group1,Group2,Group3,... Only use this groups from config-file. -P peer1,peer1,... Only update this peers (still mark all as dirty). -F Add new entries to dirty database with force flag set. -t Print timestamps to debug output (e.g. for profiling). -s filename Print timestamps also to this file. -W fd Write a list of directories in which relevant file can be found to the specified file descriptor (when doing a -c run). The direc- tory names in this output are zero-terminated. Creating key file: csync2 -k filename Warning: Csync2 will refuse to do anything when a /etc/csync2.lock file is found. SEE ALSO
