[Gluster-users] Performance

But each dd will only see the bandwidth from a single server. So 6 dd's run simultaneously will in aggregate see more than 20MB/s - but no single one will

Like I mentioned several times my tests are running concurrent threads
and doing concurrent writes. So overall throughput per sec should be
atleast 20 X 3 = 60 MB/s.
