Thanks, I will play around a little with the settings. The VM is a build agent so disk caching is not too much of a concern. I originally started with only 4GB of memory and build times only slightly improved with 16GB (104 minutes to 100 minutes).

Thanks Liran, that issue fits my problem indeed. Installing ovirt-guest-agent on the older VM's (CentOS 7) did the trick. However, on a CentOS 8 (Kernel 4.18) + qemu-guest-agent (2.12.0) the values still do not show. But maybe the guest agents are still too old.

Hi Stefan, you can control the VM's cache (if Linux) via: - vm.vfs_cache_pressure - vm.dirty_background_ratio/vm.dirty_background_bytes - vm.dirty_ratio/vm.dirty_bytes - vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs  - vm.dirty_expire_centisecs I would just increase the vfs_cache_pressure to 120 and check if it

Hi Stefan, Please check out https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1884050 if it fits your problem. The resolution was having the right guest-agent installed in the guest(qemu-guest-agent or ovirt-guest-agent). On Sun, Nov 29, 2020 at 10:57 AM Stefan Seifried wrote: > Hi, > > I'm quite new to oVirt, so my
