Thanks a lot Soumya. I’ve figured it out and now I’m getting performance roughly 10x faster than glfs_open/glfs_write/glfs_close sequence. It’s just exactly what I was looking for.

I’ve already tried that earlier and I’ve got 2x performance boost as compared to glfs_creat/glfs_write/glfs_close sequence (which gives 4x boost compared to mounted volume). >> >> But, within my loop just glfs_h_open/glfs_h_close calls lasts 2 times longer than glfs_h_anonymous_write alone.
