    don't know if it helps, but I ran a few more tests, all from the
    same hardware node.<br>
    <br>
    The VM:<br>
    [root@billjov1 ~]# time dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/testfile bs=1M
    count=1000 oflag=direct<br>
    1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 62.5535 s, 16.8 MB/s<br>
    <br>
    Writing directly to gluster volume:<br>
    [root@ovirt2 test ~]# time dd if=/dev/zero
    of=/gluster-store/brick1/gv1/testfile bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct<br>
    1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 9.92048 s, 106 MB/s<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Writing to NFS volume:<br>
    [root@ovirt2 test ~]# time dd if=/dev/zero
    of=/mnt/storage/qa/testfile bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct<br>
    1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 10.5776 s, 99.1 MB/s<br>
    <br>
    NFS &amp; Gluster are using the same interface. Tests were not run
    at same time.<br>
    <br>
    This would suggest my problem isn't glusterfs, but the VM
    performance.<br>
