Good morning :-)

And here's the output of 'perf ...' which ran almost a minute - file
grew pretty fast to a size of 17 GB and system load went up heavily.
Had to wait a while until load dropped :-)

fyi - load at the moment:
load gluster11: ~90
load gluster12: ~10
load gluster13: ~50

Or do you want to download the file /tmp/perf.gluster11.bricksdd1.out
and examine it yourself? If so i could send you a link.
