PROBLEM# 1
==========
How could I get a module for '--V--intermezzo'?
Aaccording to the 'quick start' manual on your website, it is
possible to use file cache, and mount the cache with type name
'vintermezzo'.
PROBLEM# 2
==========
How to configure the system as 'two-way synchronization' in a
two-machine case?
PROBLEM# 3
==========
I followed the procedure from your web site, but it did not work for me.
I had to do a little bit different. There was a problem with launching
'intersync' on client machine:
server:
*******
<SuSE 7.x with upgraded kernel 2.4.22>
<intersync-0.9.5>
-------------------------------------------------------
# mkizofs -r compaq /dev/hdc2
Cache file system type is ext3
Root fileset name is compaq
Using mke2fs -q to create cache file system
mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Creating InterMezzo journal files
Processing root file set compaq
# mount -t intermezzo /dev/hdc2 /compaq
# incontrol set_fset_root /compaq compaq
(/var/intermezzo-0/cache is s-linked to /compaq)
# cd /compaq
# ls
. .. ..iopen.. .intermezzo lost+found
# cd .intermezzo
# ls
. .. compaq config rootfset
# more config
<profile>
<uuid>10610cd2-4ecb-4f43-a5e5-6797a1576a39</uuid>
<fset>rootfset</fset>
<server_port>370</server_port>
<local_ip>*</local_ip>
<local_port>370</local_port>
</profile>
# cd ~
# intersync /compaq
client:
*******
<SuSE 7.x with upgraded kernel 2.4.22>
<intersync-0.9.5>
-------------------------------------------------------
does the same as the 'server'
The content of config file:
<profile>
<uuid>aa593e50-ce90-47f4-a7f7-b0058f2b5f3c</uuid>
<fset>compaq</fset>
<server>svr</server>
<server_port>370</server_port>
<local_ip>192.168.0.6</local_ip>
<local_port>2432</local_port>
</profile>
# intersync --server=svr /compaq

My two cents:
*************
It would be nice to have installation/configuration files relate a env,
say INTERSYNC_HOME, so that different linux could have identical conf
files layout. For example, RedHat has a dir '/etc/sysconfig'. Some
of the 'intersync' files reside under this directory. But SuSE linux does
not have this directory. It would be nice if these files would reside
under INTERSYNC_HOME/etc. Symbolic links can be appied to these files
with diff flavours of linux.
Thanks!
