Using tools such as ionice inside guests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear kvm developpers/users,

I just saw that a change has been made in the kernel so the only one
scheduler available in guests for virtio-blk is now "none".

Seems introduced by [1].

I tried to used ionice on a 3.16 guest with virtio-blk and in fact it no
longer works because cfq is no longer available.

Is there a way to use, inside a guest, a tool like ionice to set
different IO priority in guests processes? It's very useful for loering
down the performance impact of backups jobs for example.
