Just to throw my experience on this, I'm currently using rsync over ssh (rsync -av /mnt/data u...@server:/mnt/glusterfs) to sync data from a file server to two glusterfs servers running in raid1 mode. I've moved about 2 TB today, and it has not had any issues. I'm running 3.0.3 built from source on Debian Squeeze.
