Thanks to Roch for suggesting uscsi_strategy.

^C

I should be getting those cache flushes every 5s - right?
The question is why I observer different behavior?
There're definitely both reads and writes all the time.
And on that hosts we're observing performance problems so maybe it's
somehow related?

Also sync() can take several minutes to complete...

Do you have any idea?
