If all your servers and clients are 3.7.8, then they are by default 
running afr-v2.  Afr-v2 was a re-write of afr that went in for 3.6., so 
any gluster package from then on has this code, you don't need to 
explicitly enable anything.

  Both v1 and v2 use range locks while healing a given file, so clients 
shouldn't block when heals happen. What is the problem you're facing?
Are your clients also at 3.7.8?
