If you have mounted the volume on the new peer, and are trying to access
the files through the GlusterFS mount, you should face no problems. You
wouldn't have the best performance possible owing to GlusterFS's general
behaviour with small files, and the additional load of the heal replication
happening.

You should never directly access files of a GlusterFS volume from the
backend brick directories.

[Gluster-users] When can I start using a peer that was added to a large volume?

[Tom Cannaerts - INTRACTO]

I added a peer to a 50GB replica volume and initial replication seems to go
rather slow. It's about 50GB but has a lot of small files and a lot of
files in the same folder.

What would happen if I try to access a file on the new peer? Will it just
fail? Will gluster fetch it sealessly from the replication partner? Or will
the file just not be there?

Thanks,
