Thanks for the answer. I’ve already tried that earlier and I’ve got 2x performance boost as compared to glfs_creat/glfs_write/glfs_close sequence (which gives 4x boost compared to mounted volume).
But, within my loop just glfs_h_open/glfs_h_close calls lasts 2 times longer than glfs_h_anonymous_write alone. So I was guessing that there are some RPC calls behind glfs_h_open/glfs_h_close calls which could be avoided.
