What kind of tools and profiles are you using to benchmark performance of your Filers\Nodes?
vdbench, fio, elbencho, lan speed test?? Are you able to share your testing scripts / jobs / profiles / and the results of the tests?
Random Reads\Writes, Sequential Reads\Writes, small\large blocks, rsize\wsize , etc?

we dont have profiles, we do everything based onthe need of the current deployment, which kind of sucks, but we're pretty much set into the process and know what to expect and what to provide for whatever is needed
