I set my account name to Drew R earlier and it seems to have altered the course 
of this thread.  But anyway. This guy Strahil replied to me (not showing below) 
and said to try this:

Strahil: "Can you try setting the viodiskcache custom property to write back ?
Best Regards,
Strahil"

I cloned the windows 10 vm, set one to use the 8TB WDGold disk and one to use a 
6TB WDGold 2+1arb mirror gluster.

The 8TB single disk VM ran full speed: 115MBps.  When it took 19 minutes prior. 
 
The gluster VM is still going as I type this...probably still on track for 19 
minutes on a 6.8GB file (~5MBps).  

115 is basically maxing the 1GBps ethernet to the remote server I'm reading 
from for the file copy)  And this is taking place INSIDE the VM managed by 
oVirt.  Outside the VM I can achieve expected speeds for the hardware in any 
direction.  I'd test something within the 10Gbps network but it's only oVirt 
manages devices and they can't even read off each other faster than 5MBps.

So that was a great example of how a setting can have effect.  So with a 
VirtIO-SCSI + viodiskcache=write back on a single non-gluster disk I get 
basically max speed. Otherwise - goat cheese.

So how do I fix the gluster performance - through oVirt....?  (that gluster 
copy just finished btw - 14 minutes - so maybe a slight improvement)
