Are you exporting that GFS2 filesystem via NFS, or can you reproduce
this without NFS? Also, what kind of workload is involved? Is this a lot
of small files, or are they mostly larger ones? Are they being
read/written sequentially or randomly? Is there anything unusual going
on (e.g. use of splice, ACLs or non-standard mount options, etc.)
