Hi,

Am trying to optimize the disk I/O performance for KVM guests running on my SmartOS Host (RAID 10 with 4 disks), 8 physical cores, 100G+ RAM.

Running this command: time sh -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=ddfile bs=8k count=250000 && sync"; rm ddfile

On the Host gives:

real    0m16.051s

user    0m0.186s

sys     0m3.181s

On a Centos guest gives:

real    0m43.182s

user    0m0.032s

sys     0m1.505s


If you don't have log devices, get some!
