My thought about the inheritance is:

If parent is a plain directory, the "-N --parent" should create a mirror contains a single component covering [0, eof) and inherit its stripe options.
If parent is a PFL directory, newly created mirror should inherit the whole components of its parent directory.
If parent is a FLR directory, newly created mirror should inherit one of the mirror of its parent.
