I reply  to myself to share the experience.

BoxA had an already populated /export folder.

I installed BoxB and gluster 3.2 on both boxes.

I created a replicated volume

I mounted this volume from a client

On the  client cd  /mountpoint and then   du

Box B /export started to populate

Thank you

KL

If its setup as replicate, then just do what I suggested, but from a
client.  It should trigger the replicate

Hi Greg

Thanks for your answer.
Actually it more a server issue.
I have box A and BoxB each of them export /export folder
I have around 200Gigs of file on BoxA in /export  and I was hopping that
creating a volume exporting /export will trigger repilication on Box B.
It looks like it doesn't.

Cheers

So... don't know that I should share this will all since its not
suggested... but all you have to do is stat all of the files.  If you
generate a file list on the storage box and then take that list to the
client that can't see them, and run stat on each file it should find them
all.

Depending on your data size it might not be worth the effort.
