Comment 3 Aravinda VK 2014-12-23 15:54:08 UTC 
Patch sent to upstream to sync atime and mtime.
http://review.gluster.org/#/c/9331/

This patch will not sync data since no data operation recorded in changelog when used touch.
Comment 4 Kotresh HR 2014-12-24 19:34:56 UTC 
Since touch doesn't initiate a data transfer in geo-replication and is not expected, a virtual xattr "glusterfs.geo-rep.trigger-sync" is provided to initiate data sync explicitly. 

Usage:
setfattr -n glusterfs.geo-rep.trigger-sync -v "1" <file-path>

Patch posted upstream and downstream
