That is what I was thinking as well which is not what I want. I want to
better utilize these large SSD journals. If I have 50GB journal
and I only want to write 5GB of data I should be able to get near SSD speed
for this operation. Why am I not? Maybe I should increase
*filestore_max_sync_interval.*
