Interesting. I am using it in the lab, but haven't gotten as far as fio benching. Were you using NFSv4 sec=sys, or something else? Were guest and host both Debian 11 / Linux 5.10, or something else? Was libvirt-daemon 7.x? Was qemu-system-x86 5.2 or 6.x? I've had a bunch of nitpicky grief in the past when / is NFS. For example, by default Debian can only use NFSv3 for nfsroot=, and the DHCP client in the initrd can't hand over properly to systemd-networkd. I haven't had any grief from virtiofsd yet, but I didn't get as far as spinning up postgresql before I got distracted. > NFS is also easier to setup. It is currently on Debian 11, because you have to patch domain.xml by hand. That should get better by Debian 12, though. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
