Hi Gordon, hi all,

thanks to the guys who made the test for me. It's interesting.
Gordon, could you make the test with a much bigger block count?
Isn't it really strange that you get 1MB/s on one server and
about 46.3 MB/s on the other. There must be some write buffering
on the driver side. The 1MB/s on the second server is about
what I get here.

Best regards
Andreas Mock
