ZVOL and "raw" vm files. There is no actual file, the volume is a device.
Also, do not do raidz (worse z2/3) on SSDs, it looks like it has huge write amplification:https://groups.google.com/a/zfsonlinux.org/forum/#!topic/zfs-discuss/hUlryHtJMnw
1. Use "raid10" like setup, which is striped...
That's strange. For each ~1MB written to the pool, ~120MB reach the drives. In a raidz config this would be expected to be ~3x.
Ignore attribute 177 to count the writes, because a SSD has write amplification. Attribute 241 gives you the total 512 byte LBAs written so ~820GB on each drive. For a...
You seem to have a high write I/O profile. Udo's iostat returned 161GB written on each SSD, 61 GB read and 2MB/sec write since last reboot.
Btw, did you buy these drives new?
What's your current smartctl status (since 13 hours ago on your first post)
Of course there are good and bad experiences on the fragmentation level. And of course it was about free space fragmentation because we're talking about slow write performance. Fragmented files do not affect write performance, but fragmented free space does (more time to hunt for places to write...
It is not that bad. The 5 secs txg flush period is there also for being able to re-order the writes to be more sequential.
File copying outside or inside the VM is asynchronous AFAIK, except when you run the whole VM in sync or set sync=always on its ZVOL.
One issue might be the (pretty) big...
You've just broken your VM disk. You need to shrink the disk inside the VM first and then shrink the raw device.
What you did was to blind copy the a 100GB disk to a 30GB disk and then wonder why it is broken.
Your image is a partition, not a disk.
Your best best would be to create a VM with a disk larger than your partition and then:
- attach your partition file to the VM as secondary disk (edit the /etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf file)
- boot a Live Linux ISO
- partition the main VM disk
- dd your...
It looks to me like current fdisk (proxmox, jessie) does know about GPT:
root@hypervisor:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdm
Disk /dev/sdm: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size...
