Running the kvm-84 install on the qcow image as kvm -m 1024 -drive file=qcow,boot=on,cache=writethrough, I get similar performance to the raw performance. So it looks like with cache set to writethrough there's a big performance hit on this setup, any ideas where to look for that? > Regards, > > Anthony Liguori -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
