I have a Dell PowerEdge T550 with PERC H355, and I was conducting tests for VM backup restoration using a 50GB hard drive with a backup size of 4.75GB. Proxmox is installed on a 2TB RAID1 setup, with a default LVM-thin partition and an LVM partition. When I restore the backup to the LVM partition (LVM2), it takes 5 minutes. However, when I restore it to the LVM-thin partition (local-lvm), it takes 2 hours.
Contents of /etc/pve/storage.cfg:
I reinstalled Proxmox on a single non-RAID hard drive, this time leaving everything as default without the extra LVM partition.
/etc/pve/storage.cfg:
The backup restoration to the LVM-thin partition (local-lvm) still took 2 hours. However, when I removed the hard drive and installed it in an external USB3 enclosure, booting from it, the backup restoration took 37 minutes.
It was much faster without going through the PERC controller. Could it be an issue with the controller?
