 +Testing out fail over and deletion of data on secondary then a full resync process:
 +
 + 
 +  * started a full --resyncstorage --mirrorgroupid=101 --timestamp=0
 +  * got --getentryinfo EntryID for a file in my /mnt/beegfs/home/path/to/file and did the same for the directory the file was located in
 +  * did a cat /mnt.beegfs/home/path/to/file on a client (just fine)
 +  * brought primary storage down
 +  * redid the cat above (it hangs for a couple of minutes, then displays the file content)
 +  * while primary down, I ran rm -rf   /mnt/beegfs/home/path/to/ removing directory holding file
 +  * a cat now generates the expected file not found error
 +  * brought up primary and started a full --resyncstorage --mirrorgroupid=101 --timestamp=0
 +  * the nr of files and dirs discovered is as expected lower by the correct values
 +  * when I now search for the EntryIDs obtained before they are gone from /data/beegfs-storage (as expected).
 +
 +Nice that it works.
 +
 +So you can full storage content mirror. You'll still need rsnapshots to recover lost data or point in time restores.

 +Another note: I changed paths for mirrormd and buddymirror to ''/mnt/beegfs/home'' and now I see connectivity data for meta node cottontail2 which was previously missing because I working on sub directory level.
