Best strategy for caching VMs storage

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

 



Hi there.


I have a host running 4 VMs using qcow2 storage on a ext4 fs over HDD. Each VM has 3 qcow files (system, data and swap). I know I have an I/O bottleneck.

I want to use bcache with an SSD to accelerate disk access but I´m not sure where should I put bcache on storage stack.


Should I use bcache on host or in guests?

Just one bcache backing device for a single (ext4) filesystem with all qcow files there, or different bcache and backing devices for each qcow2 file?


Right know, I prefer qcow2 over thin-lvm for storage, but i could change my mind if thin-lvm is a much better combination for bcache.


What would be the best strategy for caching VMs storage ?

Any recommendation, please?


Regards and thank you
