GlusterFS supports byte-range locking. File-locking is implemented on
top of record locking. Locks should work properly for AFR too, since it
is handled on all replicas simultaneously.

Yes, you can configure it in overlapping mirrored or independently
mirrored fashion (1,2 3,4 or 1,2 2,3 3,4 4,1). Failure of bricks will
not affect. In fact you can also say (1,2,3 2,3,4 4,1,2 or 1,2,3,4
2,3,4,5 ...) where you can have more than 2 copies. Just a matter of
configuration.
