I do not understand why you do not use Glusterfs in replication mode!?

Betreff: Re: [Samba] Synchronizing multiple samba servers

The "-u" option does skip "newer" files on the receiver, but it still
doesn't do the full bi-directional sync.  You could script to fire off a
second rsync to do the sync back again, but then you'd have to handle the
details of resolving (or at least saving) conflicts.  I think the point of
the "unison" program is that they've already thought through all those weird
combinations for you.
