iostats are coming from qemu.
what is the output of monitor "info blockstats" for the vm where you don't have
stats ?
Two examples below:
# info blockstats
drive-ide2: rd_bytes=0 wr_bytes=0 rd_operations=0 wr_operations=0
flush_operations=0 wr_total_time_ns=0 rd_total_time_ns=0 flush_total_time_ns=0
rd_merged=0 wr_merged=0 idle_time_ns=0
drive-scsi0: rd_bytes=0 wr_bytes=0 rd_operations=0 wr_operations=0
flush_operations=0 wr_total_time_ns=0 rd_total_time_ns=0 flush_total_time_ns=0
rd_merged=0 wr_merged=0 idle_time_ns=0
drive-scsi1: rd_bytes=0 wr_bytes=0 rd_operations=0 wr_operations=0
flush_operations=0 wr_total_time_ns=0 rd_total_time_ns=0 flush_total_time_ns=0
rd_merged=0 wr_merged=0 idle_time_ns=0
# info blockstats
drive-ide2: rd_bytes=0 wr_bytes=0 rd_operations=0 wr_operations=0
flush_operations=0 wr_total_time_ns=0 rd_total_time_ns=0 flush_total_time_ns=0
rd_merged=0 wr_merged=0 idle_time_ns=0
drive-scsi0: rd_bytes=0 wr_bytes=0 rd_operations=0 wr_operations=0
flush_operations=0 wr_total_time_ns=0 rd_total_time_ns=0 flush_total_time_ns=0
rd_merged=0 wr_merged=0 idle_time_ns=0
It's side effect of scsi pass-through, which is being used by default
for [libi]scsi volumes with scsi VM disk interface. QEMU is just not
aware of VM block IO in that case. Also, cache settings for volumes are
ineffective, because qemu is just proxying raw scsi commands to backing
storage, so caching is impossible.
Do you use PVE backups (vzdump)? Is it works for machines without stats?
I think it's also shall not work with pass-through.
