Setup:
I have set up an NVMe ZFS pool on my PVE and passed it through to an OMV (OpenMediaVault) VE using a SCSI drive. In the OMV-VM I mounted the drive via EXT4 and configured a SMB share.The system runs on the following hardware:
- Proxmox Version: 8.3.0
- Host System: 16 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6234 CPU @ 3.30GHz (2 Sockets), 192GB DDR4 EEC
- NVMe Storage: 2 x 1TB NVME
- ZFS Configuration: Mirror
- OMV Version: 7.7.1-3 (Sandworm)
- VM Network Adapter: virtio
Additionally, I have two Windows 11 VMs with PCIe-passthrough GPUs to serve as powerful workstations for viewing large 3D models. These Windows VMs access the SMB share as a mapped network drive.
I tested the read/write speeds using a 5GB Windows ISO file, and the results are:
- Write speed over SMB: 500 MB/s
- Read speed over SMB: 200 MB/s
Where is the bottleneck?
Thanks in advance!
