skulk
A process by which CDS makes the data consistent in all replicas of a particular directory. CDS collects all changes made to the master replica since the last skulk completed, and disseminates the changes from the up-to-date replica to all other existing replicas of the directory. All replicas of a directory must be available for a skulk to be considered successful. If a skulk fails, CDS informs you of the replicas that it could not reach.
