- mindslight 10y agoOnce you go unison you will never want to go back. I even run some ZFS without ECC memory, because if hardware goes bad and programmatically corrupts it isn't the end of the world.
- Annatar 10y agoWhat is "unison"?
- mindslight 10y agoBidirectional file synchronization. It makes any single replica not that important. Don't concentrate your resources into a single "invincible" box.
- Annatar 10y agoIs the synchronization synchronous or asynchronous? Is there a uniform resource identifier where I could read more about it? Or perhaps some book? Research paper?
- mindslight 10y agohttps://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ It synchronizes directory trees on arbitrary filesystems, so I think the answer to your question would be "asynchronous". Most individuals don't have TBs of working set continually being updated and requiring a central authoritative copy. They have a small working set and a long-term archive they'd just never want to lose. Unison's model isn't perfect (eg having to create a star topology, lack of built-in inotify). But it's been around forever, is written in a sane language, and is rock solid.
