If it is off, reads are done from first child (the way it was done before) But we were thinking "option read-node" would be better than "option read-schedule on/off" "option read-node <sobvol>" will read from that particular subvol (this will help when that subvol is local storage) "option read-node *" will load balance from all children. So option is either * or one of the subvols. default is "option read-node *" What do you think about it? Thanks Krishna PS striped read not done yet.
