[PVE-User] pve-csync version of pve-zsync?

[Mark Adams]

Hi Alwin,

I might have to take another look at it, but have you actually done this
with 2 proxmox clusters? I can't remember the exact part I got stuck on as
it was quite a while ago, but it wasn't as straight forward as you suggest.
I think you couldn't use the same cluster name, which in turn created
issues trying to use the "remote" (backup/dr/whatever you wanna call it)
cluster with proxmox because it needed to be called ceph.

The docs I was referring to were the ceph ones yes. Some of the options
listed in that doc do not work in the current proxmox version (I think the
doc hasn't been updated for newer versions...)

Regards,
Mark
