Well, they are actually streaming replication slaves, and I boogered
up the rsync command, so there they are. I diffed the directories
from the master to the slave, and think I will go ahead and delete all
the files that don't appear in both places and see what happens.
Worst case, I have to set them back up again. No big deal...
Thanks!
