I'll take a few slots, probably 3 x 1 days, at least a week apart. Won't
be able to start before 19th Nov.
I want to look at scaling issues on some isolated workloads on in-memory
databases, as well as WAL writing. I'll generate the data directly on
the system.
Any chance we can validate the I/O config and publish bonnie results
first, please?
