Given that mysql is doing the writes, that's the first place to look.
Is the mysql version the same on all machines?  If not, what changed
between versions?  How about the config?  How about the sql code driving
the IO, is it the same?  Is this host using a different mysql log or db
file format?  Is the logging method the same?  Is it writing the same
total amount of data to the filesystem, but just in larger chunks?  Etc,
etc.
