    Async IO setting for cloud-init drive

    Hi, it would be nice to be able to set the Async IO option (aio=) for cloud-init drives in the GUI. We are running a shared storage on a SAN LUN with OCFS2 and we know this is an unsupported setup. Since kernel 6.5 we need the aio=threads parameter for virtual disks. For normal vHDDs this can...

I previously only saw the issue with Windows VMs during Windows updates, usually...

We took a comprehensive look at performance on PVE 7.2 (kernel=5.15.53-1-pve) with aio=native, aio=io_uring, and iothreads over several weeks of benchmarking on an AMD EPYC system with 100G...

    Linux 6 - io_uring improvements: What's the deal and ramifications for Proxmox?

    There's a lot of talk and excitement around Linux kernel 6.0 release. It seems there is a high belief that io_uring has been improved to a degree that there will be a lot of performance improvements all over the place. What are the implications of this for Proxmox and what kind of integration...
