[Gluster-devel] option read-subvolume

[Josh Bowers]

I am trying to setup AFR across two nodes with the clients on the same boxes as the 
servers. Currently, I am using "AFR single process" to do this and everything seems 
to work.

However, I think I'm missing something because the performance seems to be poor.

I was under the impression that "option read-subvolume" option would read from the 
local filesystem if the "type storage/posix" was specified for the subvolume. It 
seems to have no affect whether or not this option is used.
