Block io throttle

[zmax]

Hi all,

Has anyone done any limitations of disk io in cgroups on vm?

I tried different techniques like ionice but it didn't work as I wanted. Recently I have noticed that developers work on more suitable features:

I wonder what is the progress and when PROXMOX is going to implement it.

I think that currently lack of effective io controlling is the greatest limitation of KVM/proxmox.

yes, we follow these threads with high interest and we will implement it as soon as possible.

out of topic, but network limitations are already implemented for the first beta of 2.0 (not yet released).

Thanks! I will be more than happy to test it
