That's why the replication has to be triggered by the administrator.
Can this not be automated via cron for all volumes every 5min for
example?
It can, of course, but that's still no failover, since you have just
one RW copy.
If that server goes down, you _can't write_, and besides that, you
have to mount the RW volume differently, so your user will have
another path to the RW copy. That's definitely not what people call
full replication of data.
This is documented that way and AFS people never claimed to have this
feature (R/W replication of data across fileservers).
