so by this logic, if i re-mount my partitions async i can get the same
performance? this isn't meant as a rub, i would seriously consider
doing this if it were the case. i'd like to know any and all ways i can
make mysql faster. we have fleats of mysql servers with redundant
data. the loss of a server due to corruption is not problematic
