Greetings.

I'm a novice user of csync2, and just have built my first test cluster with it. However, I've encountered issue I haven't been able to find solution for yet. I installed csync2 using this package: http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/csync2-2.0.tar.gz I have quite a simple cluster setup of 2 nodes which try to replicate 1 directory with 1 file in it. Here is a sample config file:

nossl * *;
group cluster_group
{

        host host1.tst.com;
        host host2.tst.com;

        key /usr/local/etc/csync2/csync2.key;
        include /opt/testdir;

        exclude *~ .*;

        action
        {

                logfile "/var/log/csync2_action.log";
                do-local;
        }

        action
        {
                pattern /opt/tomcat/conf/*;

                exec "/sbin/service tomcat restart";
                logfile "/var/log/csync2_action.log";
                do-local;
        }

        backup-directory /var/backups/csync2;
        backup-generations 3;

        auto younger;
}

In my scenario I'm starting with this test file dirty and different on both hosts, thus in conflict. For example, I just running "csync2 -xvvv -N host1.tst.com" (I'm using -N key because of hostname is the same for both nodes, and different from the 2 names provided in "host" claim in config file; I'm using mappings in /etc/hosts to resolve these 2 fictional dns names). I'm getting a lot of output, from which I see that it correctly detects that files differ and proceed to resolving the conflict. It says that it will uses younger/older method, than it tries to backup the file that needs to be overwritten (and it's actually creates this backup!), then it fails with some ambiguous error message, and keeps telling that "this file will remain dirty" from now on. File that should win the conflict (the one created later) is not changed

When I'm commenting out these 2 backup claims at the end of the config file - it works flawlessly.

Is it a bug, or am I missing something?

With best regards,
Alex.
