How much RAM is on the test system? If the file size is only 2GB then
it will likely fit into RAM, which is possibly why the performance
numbers of all the filesystems is so close together. The other possibility
is that a single disk is the performance bottleneck and all of the
filesystems can feed a single disk at a reasonable rate.
