Hi Vivek, Here are some performance numbers generated by fio test. It seems V9 performance is better than V8 especially for write case. Normal Read | Random Read | Normal Write | Random Write V8(Avg of 3 timers) 64667 KiB/s 3387 KiB/s 59197 KiB/s 9327 KiB/s V9(Avg of 3 timers) 65947 KiB/s 3528 KiB/s 61654 KiB/s 9744 KiB/s Performance +2.0% +4.1% +4.2% +4.5% _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list contain...@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
