Thanks so much for the response.  I want to be sure I understand your caveat 
about slave volume being larger—that is not intuitive.  I’d think the slave 
volume could be the same size, that is, same useable space as seen by a fuse 
client.  Where does a larger slave volume size requirement come from, if I may 
ask?

Can this be done?  Just beginning the research, but so far I’ve only done 
geo-replication with distributed-only volumes.  Tips/caveats on this kind 
architecture are welcome.

Yes, This can be done. Both master and slave can be of different configurations.

But make sure that your slave volume has more effective size available than the 
master volume.

The rationale is straightforward—the master volume should be able to stay 
available with all data when suffering a node loss, but the geo-replicated 
volumes can be taken offline for repairs and resync as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Christian
