F1. FS 128k streaming writes

Benchmark: fio write

Command: fio --name=seqwrite --rw=write --bs=128k --size=4g --end_fsync=1 --loops=4 # aggrb tput

Rationale: Measure the performance of a single threaded streaming write of a reasonably large file. The aim is to measure how well the file system and platform can sustain a write workload, which will depend on how well it can group and dispatch writes. It's difficult to benchmark buffered file system writes in both a short duration and in a repeatable way, as performance greatly depends on if and when the pagecache begins to flush dirty data. As a workaround, an fsync() at the end of the benchmark is called to ensure that flushing will always occur, and the benchmark also repeats four times. While this provides a much more reliable measurement, it is somewhat worst-case (applications don't always fsync), providing closer to a minimum rate – rather than a maximum rate – that you should expect.
