Hi,

This afternoon without any change :

- No PVE configuration change
- No hardware change
- No new VM and nothing was delete as well ( most VMs are Windows 10 )

VMs become very slow and I noticed that CPU usage was very high like 35 for the last minute in an 8 core CPU ( 16 threads ).

This slow behaviour change overtime. I mean during a period of time it is OK then become slow again.

I run pveperf twice and as you can see the time it takes to run varys.

PVEPERF stops at FSYNCS/SECOND after that is runs fast again.


root@pve:~# time pveperf
CPU BOGOMIPS: 118162.56

PVE Manager Version
pve-manager/5.2-1/0fcd7879

I'm using ZFS and Pool health looks good.
