I know you can't resize/cold migrate lvm-backed ephemeral root disk

fio is fine with me. I'll lazily defer to your expertise on the right fio
commands to run for each case. :)
If we're going to test within the guest, that's going to introduce a new
set of variables, right? Should we settle on a standard flavor (maybe two

Hey Joe,
Thanks! So shall we settle on fio as a standard IO micro benchmarking tool?
Seems to me the minimum we want is throughput and IOPs oriented tests for
both the guest OS workload profile and the some sort of large working set
application workload. For the latter it is probably best to ignor
Lol! Ok, forgive me, I wasn't sure if I had regular or existential Jay on

Yes, you can! The kernel documentation for read/write limits actually uses
/dev/null in the examples :)
But more seriously: while we have not architected specifically for high
performance, for the past few years, we have used a zpool of cheap spindle
disks and 1-2 SSD disks for caching. We have ZF

Hi Jay,
Ha, I'm sure there's some wisdom hidden behind the trolling here?
Believe me, I have tried to push these sorts of use-cases toward volume or
share storage, but in the research/science domain there is often more
accessible funding available to throw at infrastructure stop-gaps than
