I was recently working with various scenarios for Fedora replication in addition to Fedora's Journaling. I'm not familiar with AFS, but if you can take advantage of some sort snapshotting facility of your filesystem or volume manager, (e.g. as provided by ZFS or LVM) that might do the trick.
Alternatively: you say you can't shut down the master, but can you have Fedora refuse write operations for some window of time while you perform the rsync? If so, you could deny API-M operations by a policy while you rsync the Mulgara indices. See:https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=27001135 fyi, Christopher, you should be directing your emails to fedora-commons-users@lists.sourceforge.net, not owner. I originally just hit reply and sent the message right back to owner and only now noticed it never went to the list.
