Before start copying,
- Enable changelog in Master volume, using `gluster volume set <volname> 
changelog.changelog on`
- Record the Timestamp. This is required to set the marking once Geo-rep 
session is created.
- Gluster Geo-replication replicates the data with same GFID in target, 
so if we are copying data manually we should ensure that GFIDs remains 
same and properly linked as hardlinks in the .glusterfs directory.

After creating the Geo-replication session it will try to start from the 
beginning, to avoid that set the marking in each bricks before starting 
Geo-replication saying till this time data is synced to Slave. Once 
started, it will start from this timestamp.(I can provide script for the 
same)
