Next, I've tried following combinations with virt-manager 0.8.4 (from
XML of VM):
1.on Debian VM with virtio drivers for both storage and NIC:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<source dev='/dev/md3'/>
<target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
partition type used in guest: EXT4
result: poor performance, 9-10MB/s sequentional copy via SMB
2.on Debian VM with virtio drivers:
<disk type='block' device='disk' cache='writeback'>
<source dev='/dev/md3'/>
<target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
partition type used: EXT4
result: poor performance, 10-15MB/s sequentional copy via SMB
3.Direct attached partition to FreeBSD VM without virtio support
(e1000 NIC and SCSI disk):
<disk type='block' device='disk' cache='writeback'>
Shouldn't have you used cache=none when using virtio?
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Tuning_KVM
how is that performance with cache none?
Also note that when you don't specify it, I think the default is not
none. Maybe it is writethrough, I don't remember.
