Staff would like to know if anyone here in the group has done a comparison between RAW and qcow2 discs to see if the performance loss is even as large as speak. I ask this because I saw on the KVM project site a comparative table, however is based on a version of qemu 2009 apparently, so I wonder if it is still valid or hear improvements in qcow2. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Qcow2 <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/2cd1d17a672a9ef035e4ccde270c972ff570e5bd?... Another doubt that I have with respect to this article, which he said is the IDE driver has outperformed virtio, the new version is so? I question this because I always read the virtio driver is the most suitable for an installation using KVM. Thank you in advance for help. Att.
