[Freeipa-users] RUVs

[Ludwig Krispenz]

Hi,

a RUV (replica update vector) is a structure which on each sever 
maintains a state of updates it has seen from any other server, it is 
used in a replication session to determine which updates have to be sent.
Normally you don't need to deal with it, only if you remove a replica it 
is advisable to remove the references to the no longer existing server 
using clean ruv
