>>Did your RAID setup improve anything? I have tried to launch 2 fio test in parallel, on 2 disks in the same guest vm, I get 2500iops for each test .... Running 2 fio tests, on 2 differents guests, give me 5000iops for each test. I really don't understand...Maybe something don't use parallelim from 1 kvm process ? (monitor access, or something else...) So raid don't help. >> Have you tried scaling past 4 guests in parallel?

That rather depends on what makes up each of them. ;) On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 6:11 AM, Alexandre DERUMIER <aderumier@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have some customers with some huge databases (too big to be handle in the bufer), require a lot of ios.

Have you tried scaling past 4 guests in parallel? I still haven't come up with a good model for what could be causing these symptoms. :/ -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
