Kris, this is because, you can say 'read-subvolume' as stripe volume,
through which you can read faster (because read calls can be sent parallally
to two nodes, and hence faster).

For the very reason AFR over STRIPE makes sense. because in this case, afr
doesn't see any files with holes, where as in stripe over afr, you see files
with holes below afr.
