Yes I can reproduce everytime I run my tests.
This happens always. Not sure if you call 50 threads writing files to
4 X 2 servers high load.
Application see slower response time and low throughput. For eg: you
would expect at least 80MB/s on 1GigE with 4 X 2 when each cluster
with "dd" can do 130 MB/s. But because of this I see only 20-30MB/s.
