Finally, the only way to get good performance (similar to LVM) was to upgrade ZFS 0.7.1 following these instructions:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/upgrade-zfs-0-7-0.35943/page-2#post-180792
I know this is an unsupported method, so I hope zfs 0.7.1 will be fully supported soon.
I have tested your script in a test box and it worked like a charm.
The performance with zfs 0.7.1 has been increased a lot.
Hope it will be added to pve-test repository soon.
I haved created a new zvol with volblocksize=4k, asigned to the VM, cloned CentOS with dd to the new disk, and rebooted the VM with the new disk.
The performance increased dramatically! Now I get expected IOPS.
Maybe it would be a good idea to be able to change volblocksize when creating a new...
Hi! I understand your point, however I maded a new test:
I created a new VM, I installed then Centos 7 without LVM and ext4. If I do the fio test inside the VM the results are same ~5000 IOPS. However if I stop the VM and mount the zvol directly in the host (mount /dev/mapper/vm-102-disk-1p2...
Running fio test on a zvol directly on the host gets higher values! About 2x/3x faster! Not as fast as LVM but I think it will be enough.
Why the VM cannot get these IOPS?
I noticed while running FIO test directly on the host, iowait raises up to 50% but when running FIO on the VM, iowait on...
I have tried it right now, FIO results inside VM are very similar with sync disabled. 4900-5000 IOPS
# zfs get all | grep sync
rpool sync disabled local
rpool/ROOT sync disabled inherited from...
Both setups are similar, only difference is one server is ZFS backed and the other one is LVM.
1] According to Rhinox, zfs raid1 would have same write performance as single drive.
2] I know it, this is what I am testing, I expected to have some write penalty in ZFS, but my benchmarks shows 4x...
Hi, I’m trying to configure a host with Proxmox 5 and ZFS because the great features, but I am not able to get a good IO performance compared to a Proxmox 5 LVM with same specs.
At this moment I’m trying with two hosts with these specs:
· Supermicro Server
· Xeon E3-1270v6
· 2x Intel SSD...
