 Description   

If the data is not perfectly synchronized and the mongod starts with fastsync, then the secondary or slave will be permanently out of sync with the primary, which may cause significant consistency problems.

Is this supposed to read: "not a perfect point in time snapshot".

The line above talking about seeding with a snapshot, which isn't the same as a perfect sync. What I am guessing this means is: if you only copy say 1 of 2 databases, you're screwed.

At any rate, this line and one above appear aren't completely clear in what they mean.
