Thank you guys,

I tried to add option "exec_prerun=echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" as
well as "exec_prerun=echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches", but
despite FIO corresponds that command was executed, there are no changes.

But, I caught very strange another behavior. If I will run my FIO test
(speaking about 3G file case) twice, after the first run FIO will create my
file and print a lot of IOps as described already, but if- before second
run- drop cache (by root echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) I broke will
end with broken MDS:
