Usage: lustre_rsync [option] -s <lustre_root_path> -t <target_path>
-m <mdt> -u <user id> -l <status log>
The Lustre rsync feature works by periodically running lustre_rsync,
a userspace program used to synchronize changes in the Lustre file system
onto the target file system. lustre_rsync can also pick up parameters
from a status log created earlier.
Options:
-s, --source <path> The source Lustre root path to be synchronized.
Mandatory if --statuslog is not specified.
-t, --target <path> The target root path where the --source file system
will be synchronized (target)
Mandatory if --statuslog is not specified.
-m, --mdt <mdt> The metadata device to be synchronized.
Mandatory if --statuslog is not specified.
-u, --user <user id> The changelog user ID for the specified MDT.
Mandatory if --statuslog is not specified.
-l, --statuslog <log file>
Log file to which synchronization status is saved.
The {-s,-t,-m,-u} options are read from log file
if not explicitly specified.
-x, --xattr <yes|no> Synchronize extended attributes (xattr). Default: yes.
-v, --verbose Produces verbose output.
-z, --dry-run Perform a trial run with no changes made.
-a, --abort-on-err Stop on lustre_rsync error. Default: continue on error.
-h, --help Displays this help message.

ssh $MDS lctl changelog_register --device lustre-MDT0000 -n
Register a changelog consumer for MDT lustre-MDT0000:lustre_rsync --source=/mnt/lustre --target=/mnt/target --mdt=lustre-MDT0000 --user=cl1 --statuslog replicate.log --verbose
Replicate the lustre filesystem /mnt/lustre to /mnt/target:lustre_rsync --statuslog replicate.log --verbose
After the filesystem undergoes some changes, replicate the changes.lustre_rsync --source=/mnt/lustre --target=/mnt/target1 --target=/mnt/target2 --mdt=lustre-MDT0000 --user=cl1 --statuslog replicate.log
To replicate the lustre filesystem /mnt/lustre to /mnt/target1 and /mnt/target2:
