Hello!

Few weeks ago there was discussion about how Primary can be SyncTarget.
As I understand, the only way is to begin synchronization as a SyncSource,
than switch to Primary state.

But what will happen with Primary SyncTarget when Secondary SyncSource
will die before the end of synchronization?

Thanks.
