Looking for some advice on write speed. I currently have my domU's installed to 8GB files on a GFS file system. When I create these domU's and try to write to them the speed is horrible something that should take 10 seconds takes about 2 minutes. Is there any way to speed up the write speed for this configuration? Here is what my .cfg file looks like.

name = "aws_u01"
memory = "256"
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/mnt/domU-storage/aws-u01,xvda,w', ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:4e:b6:53, bridge=xenbr0', ]
vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
uuid = "ab8e67d9-7375-cb79-e35c-8ebfca130f8b"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
