What kind of storage and filesystem you are using? I tried this on a SATA
disk and I really don't get good throughput. With deadline scheduler I
get aggrb=103KB/s.

I think with fsync we are generating so many FLUSH requests that it
really slows down fsync.

Even if I use CFQ with and without cgroups, I get following.

CFQ, without cgroup
------------------
aggrb=100KB/s

CFQ with cgroup
--------------
aggrb=94KB/s

So with FLUSH requests, not much difference in throughput for this
workload.

I guess you must be running with barriers off or something like that.

Thanks
Vivek
