Hi Stefan,

Do you see a difference if you force filestore journal writeahead for btrfs instead parrallel ?

filestore journal writeahead = 1
filestore journal parallel = 0

Yes these are average values. 

Spikes: 
- with XFS the spike write is at 20Mb/s 
- with btrfs (filestore_btrfs_snap=true) spike write is 200Mb/s 
- with btrfs (filestore_btrfs_snap=false) spike is still 185Mb/s but avg 
is 1/2 (20Mb/s) see above
