Re: oVirt Performance (Horrific)
Hi Drew, What is the host RAM size and what is the setting for VM.dirty_ratio and background ratio on those hosts? What about your iSCSI target? Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov On Mar 11, 2019 23:51, Drew Rash <drew.rash@gmail.com> wrote:

But suffers from the same thing....just requires writing some more to get to it. a few gigs and then it crawls.
Seems to be related to if I JUST finished running a test. If I wait a while, I get it it to copy almost 4GB or so before choking. I made a 3rd windows 10 VM and copied the same file from the 1st to the 2nd (via a windows share and from the 3rd box) And it didn't choke or do any funny business...oddly. Maybe a fluke. Only did that once.
So....switching to freenas appears to have increased the window size before it runs horribly. But it will still run horrifically if the disk is busy.
And since we're planning on doing actual work on this... idle disks caching up on some hidden cache feature of oVirt isn't gonna work. We won't be writing gigs of data all over the place...but knowing that this chokes a VM to near death...is scary.
It looks like for a windows 10 install to operate correctly, it expects at least 15MB/s with less than 1s latency. Otherwise services don't start and weird stuff happens and it runs slower than my dog while pooping out that extra little stringy bit near the end. So we gotta avoid that.

Heyo! Not that the thread is about ZFS, but I find this "stop and go" behavior interesting. FreeNAS is a excellent NAS platform, I mean, it's in the name, right? ;) However, the ZFS filesystem and how you configure the system does impact performance. First of all, how have you configured the drives in the zpool? RAIDZ is not recommended for virtualization, just because it's random IOPS performance are set to 1 HDD/vdev. If we assume a SATA drive has 150 random IOPS and you create a 8 x 6 TB RAIDZ2 vdev, that entire pool only have 150 random IOPS total. Can you do a "zpool status" and post the output? Second, it's worth mentioning that block sizes still matter. Most drives still lie to the OS that they are 512 byte sectors while really being 4k, just so that older OS'es don't freak out because they don't know drives can have any else than 512. I don't know if FreeNAS solves this issue for you but it's something I always take care of, either by "sysctl vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift=12" or trick ZFS into thinking the drives are true 4k disks with "gnop". A way to check is "zdb | grep ashift"; it should be 12. If 9, you may have worse performance than you should have, but not way worse. Still... Then there's alignment that I also think that FreeNAS takes care of, probably... Most systems place the partition start at 1 MiB which makes it OK for any disk regardless. Your disks should be called "adaX", run "camcontrol devlist" to get a list of all of them, then pick one disk to check the partitioning on with "gpart show adaX". The "freebsd-zfs" partition should start at something evenly divisible by 4096 (4k). Most of the time they're at 2048, because 512*2048=1048576(1MiB) and that divided by 4k is (1048576/4096=256), which is a beautifully even number. Third and maybe most important, ZFS _does_ listen to "sync" calls, which is about everything over iSCSI (with ctld) or NFS. That means, since your hosts are connecting to it over one of the two, for _every_ write, the NAS stops and waits for it to be actually written safely to disk before doing another write, it's sooo slow (but super awesome, because it saves you from data corruption). What you do with ZFS to mitigate that is to add a so called SLOG (separate log) disk, typically a hella-fast SSD or NVME that only does that and nothing else, so that the fast disk takes all the random, small writes and turns them into big streaming writes that the HDD's can take. You can partition just a bit of an SSD and use that as a SLOG, typically not more than the bandwidth you could maximally take, times the interval between write flushes in ZFS, which is 5 secs. So 10Gb/s is about 1,25 GB/s, tops- and you have two of those. 2,5GB*5 = 12.5GB. Which means 14GB should definitely cover it. Lastly network, are you sure you activated jumbo frames, all the way from the storage to the hosts? That makes a huge difference on 10 Gb ethernet. A way to test this is to start tcpdump on the iSCSI/NFS storage interface, looking for just ping, like "tcpdump -vnni Jumbo_NFS icmp" on both the storage and a host system. Then from another terminal (as root) of the storage or host, send just _one_ big ping packet, and see what you get, like so: "ping -c 1 -s 8192 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX". The tcpdump output should just have recieved _one_ ICMP echo request and sent back just _one_ ICMP echo reply; one to get there, and one back. That's how you're sure you've got no fragmentation happening between the storage and host. I swear, I didn't mean to write a book about it, it just happened :) You put a quarter in the ZFS box and this is what you get... /K

BTW: just wanted to mention a good way to check that you are really getting jumbo frames is to use "ss" to see the MSS on the established TCP sessions. For example, if you are using iSCSI: # ss -ti dport = :iscsi-target State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port ESTAB 0 0 10.21.0.201:60180 10.21.0.21:iscsi-target cubic wscale:5,2 rto:201 rtt:0.737/0.563 ato:40 mss:8948 cwnd:10 ssthresh:16 bytes_acked:1263988453 bytes_received:734634344892 segs_out:55848414 segs_in:90177540 send 971.3Mbps lastsnd:1570 lastrcv:1568 lastack:1568 pacing_rate 1941.6Mbps retrans:0/55 rcv_rtt:2.875 rcv_space:587020 ESTAB 0 0 10.21.0.201:55098 10.21.0.20:iscsi-target cubic wscale:5,2 rto:201 rtt:0.443/0.119 ato:40 mss:8948 cwnd:19 ssthresh:18 bytes_acked:256605372465 bytes_received:3117834587228 segs_out:286956736 segs_in:442234458 send 3070.2Mbps lastsnd:1445 lastrcv:1444 lastack:1444 pacing_rate 6138.7Mbps retrans:0/9 reordering:5 rcv_rtt:6.75 rcv_space:459048 NFS is a little different (since it doesn't use a single fixed port), but you can use "ss -ti dst [NFS server IP]" instead. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
Sorry about the delay. We did confirm the Jumbo frames. We dropped the iSCSI and and switched to NFS on FreeNAS before I got your reply. Seems to have gotten rid of any hiccups. And we like being able to see the files better than iSCSI anyway. So we decided that we were very confident it's oVirt (reason I'm here on oVirt forum) and we took a complete shit box: a 4 core i5 from multiple years ago with 16gb ram (unknown speed) and a 1tb hard disk drive fedora 27 box, mount the freenas NFS and run the a VM using libvirt/kvm directly over 10gb nic and got 400-900 MBps. Also tested proxmox, got the slow speeds again (faster than oVirt) at around 90MBps. So there is definitely something with proxmox that is slower than kvm and something with oVirt that is slower than proxmox. Each a step up in cool features..and a large step down in performance. So we're dropping all this. Spent way too much time on it. Going FreeNAS with KVM virt manager. Lots of people online talking about oVirt actually working well but then don't back it up with any info. No clear cut way to create an oVirt setup that actually performs. So we're junking it. Thanks for the help guys, I think you've set us on the right course for the next decade. On Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 8:12 AM Karli Sjöberg <karli@inparadise.se> wrote:

Hj Drew,
For the test change the gluster parameter nfs.disabled to false. Something like gluster volume set volname nfs.dsiable false
Then use shownount -e gluster-node-fqdn Note: NFS might not be allowed in the firewall.
Then add this NFS domain (don't forget to remove the gluster storage domain before that) and do your tests.
If it works well, you will have to switch off nfs.disable and deploy NFS Ganesha:
gluster volume reset volname nfs.disable
