That's true, but it's going to change in a couple of ways. * Commit 0baa12e8 (March 23) will cause replication to read from a brick on the same machine if there is one. * Commit 97819bf2 (June 24) provides an option which forces a mount to read from a particular brick, by index. It's unfortunate that neither is in a release yet, considering that the first was before 3.3.0 and both were before 3.3.1, but that's release engineering for you.
