The problem was making a copy of a large file inside the VM (duplicating the file in the VM)It was very slow and it looks like it is the ide device.Changed the controller to virtio and it is much faster.I tried using an image file for this disk, but this was slower than pointing to zvol on ide. I will test with the controller set to virtio and file img for disk.Overall,it is not bad now and the virtual machine is much more usable when making large copies, still seems slow from what I would expect. Copy start off at 120MB/s and quickly drops down to 14MB/s and then jumps up and down to about 30 or 40 a few times, but no longer stalls as before.Thanks > Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 20:39:59 -0500 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [OmniOS-discuss] KVM - copy paste in VM > > On Tue, 29 Jul 2014, Machine Man wrote: > > > Hello all, > > First I want to thank everyone involved with creating and supporting OmniOS. > > > > On one of the systems we have a need to run two VMs using KVM. > > Everything works fine except when a copy of a large file is made inside the > > VM.
