[Gluster-devel] AFR on client side and option read subvolume

[Krishna Srinivas]

Brandon,

AFR hashes inode number and reads from the same subvol all the time
for a given file (regardless of which client is reading, it always gets read
from the same subvol)

But in case you have a faster subvol, you can give the "option read-subvolume"
