I'm interested in the most efficient method of doing filesystem mirroring, passing that info into a userland app using multicast would be ideal. The userland app may see which blocks of which file have been modified and distribute deltas across the network. With the major interest in softupdates lately i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
