I've tested it now on linux with a virtio disk-drive: <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol='rbd' name='rd/backup:rbd_cache=1'> <host name='rd-c2.ceph' port='6789'/> <host name='rd-c1.ceph' port='6789'/> <host name='wag-c1.ceph' port='6789'/> </source> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </disk> virsh console to the running VM. Next - Write Test: dd if=/dev/zero of=/bigfile bs=2M & Serial console gets jerky, VM gets unresponsive. It doesn't crash, but it's not 'healthy' either. CPU load isn't very high, it's in the waiting state a lot: Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 4.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 26.1%id, 68.4%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.5%st 1170 root 20 0 11736 2452 556 D 8.5 0.5 0:00.80 dd Wolfgang On 03/11/2013 01:42 PM, Mark Nelson wrote: > I guess first question is does the jerky mouse behavior only happen > during reads or writes too?
