hdparm for some reasons gives wrong figures when testing iSCSI, it
seems there is a lot of overhead involved the first time it runs in
which case running several consecutive times gives more reasonable
numbers. Maybe you are facing the same so

for i in {1..5}; do
   hdparm -t /dev/mapper/mpath1
done
