Synchronizing (sync) files to the nodes is a feature of xCAT used to distribute specific files from the management node to the new-deploying or deployed nodes.
This function is supported for diskfull or RAMdisk-based diskless nodes.Generally, the specific files are usually the system configuration files for the nodes in the **/etc/directory**, like **/etc/hosts**, **/etc/resolve.conf**; it also could be the application programs configuration files for the nodes. The advantages of this function are: it can parallel sync files to the nodes or nodegroup for the installed nodes; it can automatically sync files to the newly-installing node after the installation. Additionally, this feature also supports the flexible format to define the synced files in a configuration file, called **'synclist'**.

Additionally, this feature also supports the flexible format to define the synced files in a configuration file, called **'synclist'**.
The synclist file can be a common one for a group of nodes using the same profile or osimage, or can be the special one for a particular node. Since the location of the synclist file will be used to find the synclist file, the common synclist should be put in a given location for Linux nodes or specified by the osimage.
