Heh.

BTW, do these tests run to ENOSPC?

This implies that it does.

If so, I'm not sure how much we can really trust these overall
results because allocation and writeback speeds at ENOSPC is
anything but deterministic. It will certainly have an effect
(detrimental) on throughput as the filesystem gets close to full....

Cheers,

Dave.
