Hi Shehjar,

Answers:
1.) Filesystem is default ext3 mounted with "defaults,noatime"
2.) I think it how it was becouse I always put io-threads as top(or near 
top) translator.  Iin TEST5 "iot" can be ignored.
3.) Server(brick) iscsi2 was also client on which I was running the test 
and it was also a Xen guest.

One more thing I'd like to point out. In documentation I miss 
information of best practices which translators should be put 
before/after other translators.
Example: should one put io-threads before or after io-cache? What does 
it mean if you configure either way.

Regards,
Marko
