[Csync2] Resolving Conflicts...

[Dan Falconer]

I've managed to setup a csync2 synchronization cluster with 4 servers, 
and it mostly works beautifully.  Whenever I run into conflicts, it 
always seems to be quite a battle to fix the conflict, and sometimes I'm 
just not sure what actually fixed (or even caused) the conflict.

The current situation is this:  one of the servers is an FTP server, 
with two others that replicate from it (via csync2) and one that has the 
files shared via samba.  A file gets created on the FTP server, then 
deleted a few minutes later: the file has "ftpuser.ftp" for the uid/gid, 
and 666 permissions.  The servers synchronize once per minute so the 
problem is difficult to track down, but it seems like the files get to 
the other servers with uid/gid of "root.root" and permissions of 660.

The other servers mark the file as "chary" and don't delete the files.  
I have to go manually delete the files, then the conflicts go away.

How can I narrow the source of this problem?
