I found some similar threads but none with my configuration (many are ZFS-related, which i don't use).
Since my upgrade from VE 4.x to VE 5.x and the related Spectre/Meltdown patches, i am seeing i/o delays and NMI messages on my VMs.
Config (Proxmox-Host):
4.15.18-4-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.15.18-23
Fujitsu RX500 with latest BIOS
Disks are connected via two external SAS shelfs via LSI SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 controller
Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) is ON
Config (VMs):
Debian 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u4
VMS are stored in QCOW2 files
No memory ballooning active
CPUs have PCID flag enabled
I checked for having enough RAM (not to use swap) and that the QCOW2 disk images are not running out of disk space on the Proxmox host.
A typical VM config looks like this:
Is there anything i can do to stop these I/O delays? Any further information needed?
