Thanks David!  Disconnects happen when there are interruption in communication between peers, normally there is ping timeout that happens.  It could be anything from a flaky NW to the system was to busy to respond to the pings.  My initial take is more towards the ladder as rsync is absolutely the worst use case for gluster - IIRC it writes in 4kb blocks.  I try to keep my writes at least 64KB as in my testing that is the smallest block size I can write with before perf starts to really drop off.  I'll try something similar in the lab.
