There is no behavior option for 'df' in glusterfs. Its a question of what is
right. For example,
* unify shows unified space.
* stripe shows unified space.
* afr shows 'df' from one node.

So, here we don't have any doubts about what to show in case of unify and
stripe. But in afr the question of which subvolume comes. Earlier as user
had the option of 'option replicate *' in afr, showing the df of first
subvolume made sense. But with uniform distribution of afr data now, we have
to show the 'df' from the subvolume which had minimum free disk.

Currently 1.3.8 shows df from first subvolume. But, the patch to show the
'df' from the subvolume with min free disk space has gone into archive.
