Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): <ALL> Expected results: As long as there is cache/memory, and all connections proper, the performance of gluster filesystem should be as close to local filesystem. Additional info: This is just a tracker for any performance issues (on I/O) on glusterfs. Keeping it here, so we can track all the known bugs and see if we are addressing all these properly.
