Trying not to sound too obtuse, but still not grasping something about this thread. The last time I had a master of a multimaster pair stay down for a while I just turned the long-halted master back on. Eventually syncrepl did its thing. I ldapsearch'd corresponding databases on both hosts, sorted/diffed the outputs and found no differences in the output (both masters had the same data). So what's the difference between waiting for syncrepl and going to all the effort that people are describing?
