NAME
goanysync - Directory symlinker and content syncer.
SYNOPSIS
goanysync <command>
DESCRIPTION
goanysync is a relatively small program to replace given directories in
HDD/SSD with symlinks to tmpfs and to sync this tmpfs contents back to
HDD/SSD.
Two main use cases are reducing wear on SSD and speeding up programs by moving
their data directories to tmpfs.
COMMANDS
initsync Replaces sync directories with symlinks to tmpfs while syncing
orginal content there.
sync Syncs content from tmpfs to the backup.
unsync Removes symlinking and restores orginal state of the sync directories.
check Checks whether sync was called without calling unsync before used
TMPFS was cleared.
start Alias for executing commands "check" and "initsync" in this order.
stop Alias for executing commands "sync" and "unsync" in this order.
SETUP
All settings are defined in goanysync.conf which by default is installed
under /etc.
USAGE
goanysync can be used directly or in archlinux through included rc.d
script. Basically this rc.d script just runs start/stop commands on system
startup and shutdown.
