After reading the code, every mailbox should be 4096 byte size.
And the total mailbox size is host * 4096. Ony one host is here, so
the total mailbox size here is 4096. why should the 'dd' operation
read 1024000 byte which is 1000K byte much lager than 4096 here?

Hi,
I found some "dd" operations were launched contiguously in my vdsm.log.
Is this harmful? How was this operation caused?
That's storage.storage_mailbox.SPM_MailMonitor, polling for lvextend
requests. dd is used, since in the old days, vdsm did not have
storage.fileUtils.DirectFile.
The behavior is expected, but I cannot say that it is harmless.
The mailbox should be high on

since forking so much is a waste, as well as using strings instead of
bytearrays. Making the module as a separate, testable entity, is important,
too.
