v1.3.1, the most up to date released version, has a bug that inflates
the bytes written by ~8x for NVMe drives (which in particular includes
the default drives for our GCE roachprod machines). Fundamentally this
is caused by the fact that these devices use a 4K sector size whereas
the kernel will always report based on a 512B sector size.
This took us a while to figure out, and to avoid repeating this exercise
periodically, downgrade node_exporter to 1.2.2, which pre-dates a
refactor that introduces the regression.
See: prometheus/node_exporter#2310
Release note: None
