When attempting to dispatch a request, it picks a currently active subvolume or fails if none are currently active.  It appears that once it has chosen an active subvolume for a request, it can no longer fail over to another subvolume for that particular request, is this true?  If so, then it is possible (perhaps likely) that during failovers some requests will fail before failover happens even if certain subvolumes never go down?  :(   Is this correct or am I missing something?

No. Requests are retried on the next subvolume if the current one goes
down during the operation, so it should work fine.
