[Gluster-devel] fio libgfapi engine available

[John Mark Walker]

Hi there,

This is really great! Thanks for posting. You and Ben England (CC'd) should get together. He has a project on the forge called "Smallfile Performance Testing" - https://forge.gluster.org/smallfile-performance-testing/

Also, please mirror your repo on the forge, when you get a chance.
