Hi linux-lvm,
In my setup I am trying to map a backend ISCSI storage volume to a volume group. I am using that volume group as a Disk for VMs in Xen. However, If I create many volume groups, future volume group creates are slowing down. In my test I have about 600 VGs. Each VG has a single LV. Here are the commands that are taking a lot of time
create volume group ( 4.8s ): /usr/sbin/vgcreate VG_XenStorage-1fe15110-61f6-
check if LVM volume group exisits (2.5s) : /usr/sbin/vgs VG_XenStorage-1fe15110-61f6-856f-8ae2-8e42e45a4316
create volume group ( 4.8s ): /usr/sbin/vgcreate VG_XenStorage-1fe15110-61f6-
856f-8ae2-8e42e45a4316 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36f47acc1000000007931637600000523
list lvs inside volume group ( 2.4s ): /usr/sbin/lvs --noheadings --units b -o +lv_tags /dev/VG_XenStorage-1fe15110-61f6-856f-8ae2-8e42e45a4316
list lvs inside volume group ( 2.4s ): /usr/sbin/lvs --noheadings --units b -o +lv_tags /dev/VG_XenStorage-1fe15110-61f6-856f-8ae2-8e42e45a4316
check if LVM volume group exisits (2.5s) : /usr/sbin/vgs VG_XenStorage-1fe15110-61f6-856f-8ae2-8e42e45a4316
I am using LVM 2.0.88. Is this a known issue? Any workarounds?
Thanks for you help.
