Thank you, it helped a little:

$ for i in {1..5}; do { dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/glusterfs1/test.tmp bs=1M count=10 oflag=sync; rm -f /mnt/glusterfs1/test.tmp; } done 2>&1 | grep copied

10485760 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0.661457 s, 15.9 MB/s

But 14-15 MB/s is still quite far from the actual storage's performance (200-3000 MB/s). :-(

Here's full configuration dump (just in case):

ctime.noatime                           on
feature.cloudsync-storetype             (null)
features.enforce-mandatory-lock         off
