Re: Using NFS as primary storage, performance issues

The previous was a local HDD (2TB, 7200rpm) on the management server with an NFS share, then mounted to cloudstack over NFS. New storage is Raid-z2, 1G between hosts and to NAS, ping seems to take 0.05-0.3 ms between hosts as well as to the NAS. Best, Pierre On Tue, 2 May 2023 at 16:43, Michael

Pierre,    What was the "old" storage? Was it local or NAS? This question is to compare against your new storage.    How do you have the 8x8TB disks configured? A pool of mirrors? RAID-Z2? Are you 1G or 10G or faster between the hosts and the NAS?MikeSent from my Galaxy Original

Just enjoying the subject, I'm curious about what we can reach in disk performance when using NFS primary storage. We have two infrastructures with different purposes, one to instantiate normal VMs and other to be used by VMs involved with scientific researches running simulations, AI training,

Big thanks for all the suggestions :) We've ordered some NVME SSDs for write caching, this is something we missed when setting up the machine originally. Sounds like the setup should work other than that. Best, Pierre kthcloud On Mon, 1 May 2023 at 17:55, wrote: > Me use flat network and

The performance will be horrible if you do not have a ZIL in your pool and use NFS. You can add this at any time but you need to make sure it is a very fast, low latency SSD or NVME. Once you have this in the pool, you will see a significant performance increase. -Original Message-

Hi Pierre, In the past we try a similar solution than you to increase the realiability of storages using ZFS (in our case was ubuntu). ZFS borns to be safe, so  when you write a block the system don't write other block until this block confirms that is ok, so it slow. In our case, we can
