Cloning the cache folder

[jean-christophe manciot]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find the most appropriate way to clone a live cache
folder to another host.
in /etc/cgitrc, I have:
cache-size=100000
cache-about-ttl=60
cache-dynamic-ttl=60
cache-repo-ttl=60
cache-root-ttl=60
cache-scanrc-ttl=60
cache-snapshot-ttl=60
cache-static-ttl=60

The destination host has the same cgit config.

If I clone the cache folder with this config, I suspect I will find
some stale cache files on the cloned host.
So I tried to disable the cache on the source host with:
cache-size=0
But when I list the folder, I discover a bunch of lock files which are
all much older that 1 hour. They must come from previous host
shutdowns,

1. Is it safe to delete all remaining old lock files and clone the folder?
2. If I enable the cache on the destination host, will it be able to
function correctly?
