Subject: [gentoo-mirrors] questions on rsync mirror operation

1 Hello,
2
3
4 even after reading [1] I keep wondering what happens if a user syncs
5 against our Gentoo e.V. rsync1 mirror while that one is syncing itself
6 against the master server. With bad luck a user may end up with mixed
7 files from before and after the sync (i.e. an inconsistent, possibly
8 broken tree), or not?
9
10 If so what would be a good way to prevent this?
11
12 How bad would shutting rsyncd down for the moment and bringing it back
13 up after be? Is there a cleaner solution to this?
14
15 Thanks in advance,
