If there is no write activity (either application driven or gluster's maintenance operations like self-heal, rebalance), then reading from the bricks might be fine. Since these operations are asynchronous in nature and since most applications are not written to be aware of the implications of loose consistency, the recommended method is to perform all reads through a gluster client stack.
This seems very reasonable. But what about the case where a new installation of gluster is supposed to "incorporate" files already present at the mount points, how to "bring them in" under gluster?
