Ml350 G6 , Xeon 5506 , 4GB , 146GB SAS 15K RAID1 with RAID Card(P410) 512MB BBU , write cache enabled , FSYNC around 1450 and troughput

Native Speed with Bonnie ++ 2G:512K give me almost 600MB/s

Debian Lenny 32bit KVM with IDE drive give me 117MB/s and various test with different size look similar , 1/6 of native performance :(
 
pls also post the details about your software setup (pveversion -v and the config file of the KVM guest- /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf)

also try with with virtio disks.

Hi,
you should use min. doubled size of ram as diskfile with bonnie: mean 8G:512k.
I think you test also ram-speed ;)
600MB/s is very high - how many disks you have in which raid-level?
What is the output of
Code: 
pveperf /var/lib/vz

4G:512K give me 175Mb/s native and 25MB/s KVM ( still with IDE drive )

I benched every 3 volume and the result are simply bad

so 132MB/s divised by 6 = 22MB/s
 
So its the way it is ? I tried different VM settings with various RAM/CPU's/CORE's and 30 to 40 MB/s is the maximum I could get from VM Machine , everywhere I read than KVM is WAY better than vmware for speed , someone here really reached 80% of native performance with KVM or its another dream

Hi,
i made some tests and can't reproduce your issue. Of course, kvm eat performance, but not so much.
Here my results.

On a kvm-vm with one core, ubuntu and a 50GB virtio-disk:
Code: 
# bonnie++ -u root -f -n 0 -r 8000 -d testdir

240MB/s without virtualisation and round 150MB/s with virtualisation - i think it's ok.
OK, normaly i must use 32GB testfile for this host - but the time....

Of course!
I use raw-files to test the local storage.
