```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
```

To re-enable replica metadata modification syncing,

```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker,replica-metadata-sync"
```

### Replicating Deletes

// Special conditions required by MinIO server are as below
//   - delimiter if set should be equal to '/', otherwise the request is rejected.
//   - marker if set should have a common prefix with 'prefix' param, otherwise
//     the request is rejected.
func validateListObjectsArgs(prefix, marker, delimiter, encodingType string, maxKeys int) APIErrorCode {
	// Max keys cannot be negative.
	if maxKeys < 0 {
		return ErrInvalidMaxKeys

It must be noted that if active-active replication is set up with delete marker replication, there is potential for duplicate delete markers to be created if both source and target concurrently set a Delete Marker or if one/both of the clusters went down at tandem before the replication event was synced.This is an unavoidable side-effect in active-active replication caused by allowing delete markers set on a object version with `REPLICA` status back to source.

// Other important fields are Limit, Marker.
// List ID always derived from the Marker.
func (z *erasureServerPools) listPath(ctx context.Context, o *listPathOptions) (entries metaCacheEntriesSorted, err error) {
	if err := checkListObjsArgs(ctx, o.Bucket, o.Prefix, o.Marker); err != nil {

Now the delete marker becomes the current version of the object. GET requests by default always retrieve the latest stored version. So performing a simple GET object request when the current version is a delete marker would return `404` `The specified key does not exist` as shown below:

// findFirstPart will find the part with 0 being the first that corresponds to the marker in the options.

// io.EOF indicates the marker is beyond the end of the stream and does not exist.
func (o *listPathOptions) findFirstPart(fi FileInfo) (int, error) {
	search := o.Marker
	if search == "" {
		search = o.Prefix
