Hey, anybody know of any program, which can sync or mirror a directory, without the need to scan the directory? For now, I'd be happy to find *any* such program, for whatever OS.
I know it can be done, via things like inotify, FSEvents, or FindFirstChangeNotification ... Take a really simple hypothetical example. Suppose I want to rsync some dir to some foreign location periodically. At present, every program I can find needs to crawl the local dir (or worse) to see what's changed. But with inotify etc, it's possible to have already created a list of what's changed, and simply mirror the changes rather than doing the whole tree crawl. This would be super useful for syncing a large directory. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
