As far I remember, yes . I'll test again to confirm. Note that when benching with fio-rbd, I need to increase the client number too. (1client - queue depth 32: +- 8000iops 2clients - queue depth 32: +- 16000iops .... ) So maybe it's related >>I'm not familiar with the new qemu options, so that would be good to discuss at the meeting too! The dataplane/iothread feature allow virtio disk to reach around 1.000.000 iops vs 100.000 iops without dataplane http://www.linux-kvm.org/wiki/images/1/17/Kvm-forum-2013-Effective-multithreading-in-QEMU.pdf Syntax to enable it: qemu -object iothread,id=iothread0 -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread0,....
