+interface (inotify or fsevents).  It aggregates and combines events for a few
+seconds and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes.
+By default this is rsync, which must be installed on all source and target
+machines.  Lsyncd is thus a light-weight live mirror solution that is
+comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or block devices
+and does not hamper local filesystem performance.")
