Drew Blessing requested to merge dblessing/gitlab-ce:docs-filesystem_perf into master

What does this MR do?

Related issues

Filesystem performance can have a big impact on overall GitLab performance, especially for actions that read or write Git repositories. This information will help benchmark filesystem performance against known good and bad real-world systems.

Normally when talking about filesystem performance the biggest concern is with Network Filesystems (NFS). However, even some local disks can have slow IO. The information on this page can be used for either scenario.
