HI guys,

I have got a problem with the IO performance of my kvm nodes.

One kvm node is setup up on a kvmhost. This host has got an nfs mount from the mgmt node.

If I do a throughput test on this nfs share, I get ~ 112 MB/s. But within the kvm node I just get 11 MB/s.



The one thing I did to help with IO performance was to disable the driver cache in kvm.pm
