Ok, the following worked: rsync -avz cobbler-master:/usr/distros/ /usr/distros cobbler replicate --master=cobbler-master --include-systems --sync-kickstarts --sync-triggers --sync-repos
Not sure why it doesn't work if you run cobbler replicate --master=cobbler-master --full-data-sync Can you recomment a place to store the kernels and initrds so that I don't need the extra rsync?
