Gluster users - Jun 2016 - Rsync - should I rsync from mount point or vol directory

Hi :)
I have /glusterdata dir that mounted to /var/www/mydir

rsync seems slow reading from /var/www/mydir so I think I will use
/glusterdata as a rsync source dir.

My questions:

1. Is that ok? Is it safe? :)
2. I noticed I can exclude the .glusterfs and .trashcan dir. Is that
correct? Is there any dirs I can safely exclude?

Thanks a lot!

John.
