When you read/write contents from the volume, you should do so through 
a glusterfs-fuse mountpoint. Not directly on the bricks where none of 
the Gluster processes can notice the reads/writes.

The distribute and/or replicate functionality is handled in the 
GlusterFS client code, this mostly is the glusterfs-fuse mountpoint on 
the storage servers.

You do not need to setup a client system to use Gluster, but you need to 
use the client software components.
