They do seem *very* odd. Your write performance is pretty good, your read 
performance is abysmal - with a similar setup, with 3 OSD's slower than yours 
I was getting 200 MB/s reads. 

Maybe your network setup is dodgy? Jumbo frames can be tricky. Have you run 
iperf between the nodes?

What are you using for benchmark testing on the windows guest?

Also, probably more useful to turn writeback caching off for benchmarking, the 
cache will totally obscure the real performance.


How is the VM mounted? rbd driver?

I think so - in general the more OSD's the better. Also having 8 HD's in RAID0 
is a recipe for disaster, you'll lost the entire OSD is one of those disks 
fails.

I'd be creating an OSD for each HD (8 per node), with a 5-10GB SSD partition 
per OSD for journal. Tedious, but should make a big difference to reads and 
writes.

Might be worth while trying
[global]
  filestore max sync interval = 30

as well.
