Ok, this is more strange. The same dd test against my ssd os/boot drives on oVirt node hosts using the same model drive (only smaller) and same h310 controller (only diff being the os/boot drives are in raid mirror and gluster drives are passthrough) test completes in <2 seconds in /tmp of host

Strahil, I'm starting to think that my problem could be related to the use of perc H310 mini raid controllers in my oVirt hosts. The os/boot SSDs are raid mirror but gluster storage is SSDs in passthrough. I've read that the queue depth of h310 card is very low and can cause performance issues

No worries at all about the length of the email, the details are highly appreciated. You've given me lots to look into and consider. On Sat, Mar 7, 2020 at 10:02 AM Strahil Nikolov wrote: > On March 7, 2020 1:12:58 PM GMT+02:00, Jayme wrote: > >Thanks again for the info. You’re probably

Thanks again for the info. You’re probably right about the testing method. Though the reason I’m down this path in the first place is because I’m seeing a problem in real world work loads. Many of my vms are used in development environments where working with small files is common such as npm

Strahil, Thanks for your suggestions. The config is pretty standard HCI setup with cockpit and hosts are oVirt node. XFS was handled by the deployment automatically. The gluster volumes were optimized for virt store. I tried noop on the SSDs, that made zero difference in the tests I was running
