Thanks, this will definitely help me get more testing done!

I'll try and send something out by Friday, but for now I am not even
very sure if it is a real problem. I ran iozone on two groups with 500
and 1000 as weights on the same parition and set fairness to 1 in
sysfs for the partition. I used a record size of 4 (default) and tried
to run it on a file size of 1G.

BTW, I don't see anything about weights being multiple of an expected
figure documented anywhere. I tried weights of 1024 (similar to the
scheduler and got shouted back at :) ). Does the documentation patch
specify the expected range for weights?
