Appoint one of the machines as "master" and have it do updates (I advise |
| 13 |
you to do that manually for safety). Then someway copy the files of your |
| 14 |
"master" system to all the slaves. You can write some script for doing the |
| 15 |
updating. Basically rsync could do most of the job. It doesn't delete old |
| 16 |
files though, but |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
find / -xdev >filelist |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
on the master and |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
find / -xdev >slavelist |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
on the slaves and than a compare |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
cat filelist slavelist |sort |uniq -u >filestodelete |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
and a final |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
rm `cat filestodelete` |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
if you are sure (on the slaves of course) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Good luck |
