Hello everyone.
My environment has the following specifications.
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E3-1240 V2
2 x 1 TB SATA (Raid 1 Soft)
1 x 1 TB SATA (/backup)
LVM was created, and included successfully in ProxMox.
When creating and testing VMs made CTs showed an average of 180 MB/s using dd.
I was very disappointed with this outcome. Created 4 CTs and faked a test on all at the same time. Obviously the value of 180 mb/s was divided between the 4 CTs and the result was more disheartening.
Thinking of solving the problem, I added more 2 x 512 GB SSD (Raid 1 Soft)
I did the following tests:
The/dev/md3 disk had the partition ext4, and added the LVM in proxmox. I created a CT this LVM and test result dd was 340 mb/s.
I detected so that if we can't do LVM snapshot.
I decided to then change the LVM to LVM-Thin. That way it would be possible to get the snapshot. But to do the test with a new CT this LVM-thin, I get the frustrating result of 270 mb/s. I am sure that this value will decrease when add new VMs or CTs.
Given this scenario, what friends recommend?
What is the best file system should I use for a read/write speed better?
Should use the SSD to cache the SATA?
Should use ZFS?
Thank you for the opportunity. I count on your help.
