This is very interesting indeed for the described use case. AFAIK the other alternative is lsyncd

  lsyncd uses inotify. Also, it does rsync (or other backends) of the whole tree instead of single files AFAIK, but that's of course not a stopper as it would need few changes to implement. In addition, I don't think lsyncd has been designed for an active/active setup, rather for a master-slave setup.

    Lsyncd does not sync the entire tree every time. It depends on the situation, most of the time in our use case it starts a rsync for 5 specific files. Only on startup or when the system is overloaded it syncs the entire tree.

      Good, thanks for clarifying.
