[Gluster-users] [External] Seeding geo-replication slaves

[Davide Obbi]

Hi,

from what i have seen you can have the target volume mounted RW and write
other files to it without breaking replication. I don't know in case the
files are the same what would happen since i haven't tested it but i guess
as per rsync it would update the files from source.
