Wesley,

Try to disable compression on zfs fs

Windows reportes about 500-600 MB/s over a 4GB file.

However I believe I found the issue.  My NFS backend is ZFS which is apparently 
notorious for horrible sync writes.

I will try an iSCSI target and see how that goes.

I have added the "async" option to the "additional mount options" section.

Transferring from my raided SSD mirrors is QUITE fast now.

However, this might be confusing, but if I read/write to the nfs share at the 
same time performance plummits.

So if I grab something from the SMB share over 10gb network and write this to 
my VM being hosted on the NFS share.  Bad performance.

Or If I copy and paste ISO from the VM to itself, horrible performance.

If I grab a file from a VM on my raised SSD storage and copy it to my VM on the 
NFS Share, it has great performance (400+ MB/s)

Not quite sure what's going on!  However if I grab something from the 1gbps 
network everything seems okay.  Or if I change the NFS Mount to the 1 gbps 
everything is okay.

Any ideas?

Let's start with expectations, shall we? 10Gb ~ 1 GB/s. So you read a file over 
SMB and write that to a VM hosted on NFS, so remote to remote. The absolute max 
for that transfer would be ~ 500 MB/s. What do you get?

I currently have a NFS server with decent speeds.  I get about 200MB/s write 
and 400+ MB/s read.

My single node oVirt host has a mirrored SSD store for my Windows 10 VM, and I 
have about 3-5 VMs running on the NFS data store.

However, VM/s on the NFS datastore are SLOW.  They can write to their own disk 
around 10-50 MB/s.  However a VM on the mirrored SSD drives can get 150-250 
MB/s transfer speed from the same NFS storage (Through NFS mounts).

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could try to speed up the NFS 
storage for the VMs?  My single node ovirt box has a 1ft Cat6 crossover cable 
plugged directly into my NFS servers 10GB port.

Thanks!

It may be because of how oVirt mounts them, much more carefully, than Linux 
does by default. If I am not mistaken, oVirt mounts the NFS shares with 'sync', 
whereas a standard 'mount' with no options gets you 'async'. The difference in 
performance is huge, but for a reason; it's unsafe in case of a power failure. 
That may explain things.
