Ok. Thanks for the info.

What would be the advantage of using Postgres as backend? Faster?
Handle larget setups? Is there documentation in the RC2 on how to 
connect to Postgresql?

ETA for gold?

I was just trying whatever version was available with Ubuntu repository 
and later was going to do the same with FreeBSD, but may go with RC2 
instead.

I really would like to understand why the lock even happened.
Is it basically telling me there is another instance running?

Since I am running this manually and would wait for it to finish before 
trying the next how was there even a lock issue?

In this particular test I was doing my VMware desktop directory so it 
was "only" 28K files, but many of the files are hundreds of MBs. Trying 
to test csync2 as much as I can on my home setup before trying tens of 
millions.
