title: Can I use GlusterFS volume storage directly without mounting?
body: <p>I have setup small cluster of GlusterFS with 3+1 nodes.
  They're all on the same LAN.
  There are 3 servers and 1 laptop (via Wifi) that is also GlusterFS node.
  A laptop often disconnects from the network. ;)</p>
  
  <p>Use case I want to achieve is this:<br>
  I want my laptop to automatically synchronize with GlusterFS filesystem when it reconnects. (That's easy and done.)
  <strong>But, when laptop is disconnected from cluster I still want to access filesystem "offline".</strong> Modify, add, remove files..</p>
  
  <p>Obviously the only way I can access GlusterFS filesystem when it's offline from cluster, is accessing volume storage directly. The one I configured creating a gluster volume. I guess it's the brick.</p>
  
  <p>Is it safe to modify files inside storage?
  Will they be replicated to the cluster when the node re-connects?</p>
