[Gluster-users] Copy files from brick folders.

[wkmail]

I've googled this but didn't really see it addressed. Most posts discuss 
cleaning up after a split brain, etc.

In a simple Replication setup, is there any problem with copying files 
from one of the ACTIVE bricks directly rather than going through the 
client mount.
Does it affect gluster specific locking/healing/writing if the file 
involved is a large log file that may have data sent to it during the copy.

I understand that files should only be modified via the client mount, 
but in a pure read situation such as a backup, keeping that traffic off 
the mount network would be an advantage.
