FYI, this is the same hardware(we are switching between Ubuntu and RH, to keep things the same) and software(Swift and xfs, same versions for both), same ring configuration, same test scripts. It seems like Ubuntu is far ahead, and we don't have any root cause ATM.  PUTs are written though to the disk and not cached, so I am not sure what to attribute this to.

I saw some references to fallocate, but not much beyond that. Is this something you would expect to see?
