Gluster users - Jan 2012 - Not replicating deletes

Is there a facility in georeplication (or elsewhere) to replicate file
creations and updates, but not deletions?

This is to prevent some clod accidentally deleting a high-value dataset and
having the deletion replicate immediately to the copy.  The dataset I'm
thinking of is essentially an append-only one.

If georeplication uses rsync internally, can it be told to run rsync without
the --delete flag?

Thanks,

Brian.

Hi Brian,

You can use,

gluster volume geo-replication <master> <slave> config
ignore-deletes 1

This makes sure, that the deletes does not get affected on the slave, 
though the files in the master will get deleted.
