Topic

An updated rdist package that fixes the calculation for disk space and
number of files for very large file systems is now available.

Description

The RDist program maintains identical copies of files on multiple hosts. If
possible, RDist will preserve the owner, group, mode, and mtime of files.
It can also update programs that are executing.
