What about using unison http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ instead of lsyncd? It seems like it would be more resilient. It does look like unison would require a cron job or human trigger where lsyncd is triggered by a file/directory change. On the plus side, it seems like unison would work better in an offline mode.


I've tried to use this on syncing my mp3 directory between two boxes and it seemed to be horribly slow. It needs to stat each file for a second or two before it even begins to sync, this takes way too long.


  -fastcheck
    do fast (and slightly unsafe) update detection on windows


I think I remember doing that and it didn't seem to help, I was using my Ubuntu box if that matters.
