Hello,

I'm on 4.1.1 environment.

Storage domain is iSCSI (with multipath) and able to write at about 200 MBytes/s when making a test inside a VM (100MB x 2)

While cloning a snapshot it seems the performace is quite lower...

It begins at about 12MB/s (6 x 2) then increases at about 30MB/s (15 x 2) with maximum of 50MB/s (25 x 2), all balanced across the two iSCSI network adapters

The related process on hypervisor

Not a big problem, only to know: is there any limiting/tunable factor in any vdsm/engine parameter?

Or is it related to the command "qemu-img convert" itself or anything else?

Thanks,

Gianluca
