Thanks a lot for your reply Matt :-)

Could you please tell how mirror-stream actually works?
Does it work sequentially or as changes happen?

By sequentially I mean If there are 100 files in the master then
mirror-stream copies from file 1 to 100 to the slave so if mirror has
passed from 1 to 50 and a change happens in file 25  it will be copied
to the slave only after the mirror-stream has completed copying from
50 till 100 and come back to file 25 from the begining.

Again what happens if a file in the master and the corresponding file
in the slave are identical? Does mirror-stream copy it again or leave
it as it is?

thanks
