Hello,
I was wondering how PVE handles IOwaits, we all know that server load can increase considerably if several VE's on a node are accessing the disks and exhausting resources.
I wanted to know if promox (since its a bare metal software) would use a SWAP partition for VE activities on the hard drive or destination.
For example, imagine the following setup:
1) Quad core xeon 2.4Ghz
500GB 7200RPM hdd
40GB SSD
Since we have 2 VE's on this node, and sometimes server load (on the VE goes to 30+) and at the node it goes to 4.00, is there any way possible that we can use the SSD as a "buffer" for data being written/accessed from the 500GB (main storage for VE's). Would this idea have todo with swapping partition?
Thanks
