Additional information: the "inactive" storage devices seemed to cause problems with creating backups as well as with stopping containers. I got so frustrated that I never checked whether VMs were also affected. Kel

I have three identical machines, each with the following hardware: AMD Ryzen 3700x 64GB G.Skill RAM 2--500GB Kingston SSDs for ZFS Raid1 boot disks 2--1TB Kingston SSDs for "data disks" 1Gbit motherboard NIC 1Gbit addon NIC Right now, I have Proxmox 7 installed with the "data disks" setup in a...

Did you actually measure the burst speeds that the guest is experiencing? In my case, even though the VM is showing the rated speed of the CPU at all times, it is actually running at the burst speed of the CPU. I tested this by running Prime95 (actually mprime) inside both the guest and the...

OK, I'm happy to report the the core speeds in the VM are indeed "turbo boosted" even though only the base core speed is ever reported. If I run a highly optimized, CPU intensive program like Prime95 in both the pve host directly and in a VM, the number of iterations per second reported by...

Thanks for the response! So even though "watching" /proc/cpuinfo consistently shows a speed of 3GHz in the VM, it might actually be running at ~3.9GHz when being pushed under Prime95? I'll have to see if the Prime95 benchmarking capability can shed some insight into the speed the cores are...

Anyone? I can't be the only one who has observed this... Best, Kel

Relatively new to Proxmox. I have Proxmox VE 6.2.4 installed on an Intel Core I5-8500 with 64GB RAM in the machine. The base clock of the CPU is 3.00GHz but the machine runs a sustained 3.9GHz (all 6 cores) under turbo boost if I have something like Prime95 running on the 6 cores. This is on...
