We are running version 3.6.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. The file system for the volume is ext4 and is mounted on clients as glusterfs.
I verified apache wasn't running, and there shouldn't be any other workload on the web server and ran another test using the following:
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/web/ddtest bs=8k count=250000 conv=fdatasync" with the profiler running.
The dd operation took 38 seconds and the two big results from the profiler for this particular brick were:
42.79 202.15 us 27.00 us 1008658.00 us 27649 WRITE
56.14 7332621.00 us 7332621.00 us 7332621.00 us 1 FSYNC
I repeated the test and the results for this brick are similar:
29.60 176.56 us 27.00 us 1008658.00 us 55273 WRITE
62.41 1714773.67 us 10098.00 us 10996032.00 us 12 FSYNC

This latency seems to correspond with very slow page loads of our website. I'm looking for any help in finding where this latency might be coming from and how we might mitigate it.
FSYNC shouldn't happen in the workload you specified. Are you sure this is the only workload on the volume when you executed 'dd'? What is the version of gluster you are using?
