  2. Re:Mirroring file system - disconnected network on Distributed Filesystems for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I have a filesystem that I need to keep synced between two servers.

    For security reasons, the servers cannot route to each other. Is there an off the shelf system that will do something like rsync in a disconnected mode.

    e.g.:
    1) On one side generate a filesystem listing with checksums
    2) Transfer listing to the other machine (floppy, cd, etc)
    3) Use listing and filesystem to generate an archive of files to upload, plus a sync script
    4) Transfer these two files to the original machine
    5) run the sync script. This will extra the tar, and delete files and folders not existing on the the other server.

  3. encrypted passwords... on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 1

    I really only use mine as an encrypted password store... gnukeyring. I have no idea how secure this is, but it has to be better than using post-it notes....

    I would really like to use it for my addressbook, as so much more info can be stored than in a standard phone, but I can never find a good "master" source of the data, that farms out to different devices, and a good way of keeping the data synced.
