Subject: inode kernel option for HA clustering/rsync

I'm working on a clustering project which utilizes rsync for system
mirroring. A main priority is to reduce rsync runtime and IO load. I have
heard of a kernel 'inode' option which can be used to cache a list of
modified files. The list of files is then passed to rsync on the next run.
Has anyone heard of this kernel option. Thanks in advance.
