The simple solution=0A= was to change allocsize setting from some "insane high=0A= in internet found recommendation" to 16M. So if your=0A= VM writes a block into a empty disk area you only =0A= allocate the surrounding 16M.=0A= =0A= 2) COW of BTRFS could be a good idea especially if you =0A= go with RAID5/6. Even using Hardware RAID. Lets=0A= assume you have a lot of VMs. All of them writing some=0A= kind of data somewhere onto the disks. If each piece is=0A= to small for a full stripe write you run into a read modify=0A= write cycle. Consuming much more IOs. With COW=0A= all this data may be written into one continuous block.=0A= (Netapp sometimes shows quite high write ops, because=0A= their WAFL works similar).=0A= =0A= Markus=0A= =0A= ------=_NextPartTM-000-229cc3d0-88f1-4502-b081-81ba3e78b3cb Content-Type: text/plain; name="InterScan_Disclaimer.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="InterScan_Disclaimer.txt" **************************************************************************** Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschützte Informationen.
