    Ceph performance advices

    Hi, We are on the point of changing our current IT infrastructure with a small Proxmox cluster of 5 nodes : Dell Precision R7920 Xeon Gold 5118 or Xeon Silver 4112 128 GB ECC RAM Data/VM disks (Ceph) on 5x3 16 TB Exos HDD. System/ISO disk on NVMe SSD via a PCIe adapter. Currently these are...

    I/O into VM almost 10 time slowly then on proxmox host

    I have 2 SAMSUNG MZQL23T8HCLS-00A07 3.84Tb. Specification says about 180000 IOPS and 4000Mbps writing, 1000000 IOPS and 6800Mbps reading. I tested disks with fio like that: fio --randrepeat=1 --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --gtod_reduce=1 --name=test --filename=test --bs=4k --iodepth=32...

    Poor ZFS SSD IO benchmark: RAID-Z1 4 x SSD similar to RAID-Z10 12 x HDD

    Hi there! I have two PVE 7.0 on ZFS, one with 12 x 4TB 7.2K SAS HDD in ZFS RAID 10, the other with 4 x 4TB SATA SSD in Z1 and they're coming out with near identical IO performance, which is suspicious! From benchmarking with FIO with caches and buffers disabled, on sequential read / writes, the...

    Is this the right way to benchmark encrypted ZFS pool with fio?

    Hi All, As I am new to proxmox, zfs and fio, and before sharing any results, I wanted to confirm that I am doing it right (ie. I am testing the right things and in the right way)! I created a ZFS mirror pool over 2 HDDs for vms only (the proxmox host is on another ZFS pool of SSDs). I...

    FIO Benchmark on the ZVOL. Fast in Proxmox, slow in VM. Same benchmark, same ZVOL

    Hello! Title says it all, but here a details: Host: Proxmox VE 6.3-6 Guest: Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2 TB (two in ZFS mirror) ZVOL: 90GB, thin-provised, sync=disabled Then i benchmarking this ZVOL directly on the Host i get almost maximum performance that this SSD...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox - measure disk performance

    Hello, sorry this feels like an absolute newbee question, but I could not figure out where to get "fio" from. I'd like to measure disk performance using fio, but searching with "apt-cache search fio" doesn't show anything. Any help is welcome. Best greets, Mario
