I'm looking back at your results, and something is terribly wrong there:
For example, sysbench:
Host result: 2.9843Mb/sec
Ovirt result: 1.1561Mb/sec
Xenserver result: 2.9006Mb/sec
This is slower than a USB1 disk on key performance. I don't know what to
make of it, but it's completely bogus. Even plain QEMU can get better
results than this.
And the 2nd benchmark:
**The novabench test:*
Ovirt result: 79Mb/s
Xenserver result: 101Mb/s
This is better, but still very slow. If I translate it to MB/s, it's
~10-12MBs - still very very slow.
If, however, this is MB/sec, then this makes sense - and is probably as
much as you can get from a single spindle.
The difference between XenServer and oVirt are more likely have to do with
caching than anything else. I don't know what the caching settings of
XenServer - can you ensure no caching ('direct IO') is used?
Thanks
