Confused about Geo Replication..

Hi,

The *third* node can be local i.e. on the same host where you invoke 
geo-replication or it could be a remote host. This host need not to be a 
part of the cluster i.e. it need not be peer probed etc., it's could 
just be standalone host or another cluster of nodes running GlusterFS. 
It should just be *reachable*.

> I would like to try to setup a A->B geo-replication setup. One node

Here "A" (master) has to be a Gluster volume and "B" (slave) can be a 
normal filesystem directory or even another Gluster volume.

For replicate you would need minimum 2 bricks. If you indent to use a 
single brick, you are better of with plain distribute.
