no, bricks dont know about each other. they not only dont know their client's replication, but they dont even know whether they are being used in a unify/afr/stripe too. all clients are expected to use the same config file, hence the option is provided to 'fetch' the spec file from one of the servers during mount (glusterfs -s SERVER) so that it is convinient to maintain a centralized spec file which all clients use.
Is it possible to have multiple client spec files served from one glusterfsd? It would be nice to be able to specify which filesystem you want to mount by name.
Thanks, Brent
