Hi,
I am having the little problem below. My question is: *how can I find
which is my arXXX file*?
I have many such files for diferent sicronizations and I dont want to
rescan all of them :(

The first few lines of the archives are human-readable. But the simplest
way to delete them is to re-run Unison with the -ignorearchives option.

The second line of each ar* file lists the two roots which the archive
synchronizes. Generally, that is easy enough to read. But in complex
cases, adding --showarchive to the Unison command should cause Unison to
print out the root names that it is using (which might have been
modified by rootalias preferences). There should be one archive on each
of the hosts that are being synchronized. If synchronization is between
two directories on one host (IIRC), there will be two archives.
