Thankyou so much For you reply Matt :-)

I currently start mirroing with this line in /etc/rc.local

hammer mirror-stream /Backup1/Data /Backup2/Data

So Inorder to make sure that the master PFS and Slave PFS are in sync
when a shut down happens is it enough to put these lines in
/etc/rc.shutdown ?

hammer synctid /Backup1/Data quick
hammer mirror-copy /Backup1/Data /Backup2/Data

Or should i kill all the "mirror-stream" processes

before giving the

"hammer mirror-copy" command in /etc/rc.shutdown  ??

also why are there 3 hammer mirror-stream processes?
and what are the hammer-M, hammer-S* processes?

Thankyou so much
