    [SOLVED] need clarification on cache settings for rbd-based storage

    Ceph Luminous with Bluestore - slow VM read

    The problem is coming from network latency + ceph latency. If you copy 1 file, sequentially and with small blocks, it's iodepth=1. (same with dd command for example). For each block, you'll have your network latency (0,1ms for example), you'll be able to do 10000 iops. if you do it with 4k...

    What exactly does "cloning" with a KVM image?

    you mean a "template" ? when a vm is transformed in template, a snasphot is done on the vm and the vm config file have a new flag "template:1" in the config file. (which made the config readonly from the gui).
