Hey.

When running a guest in the following setup, I observ a "massive"
performance decrease after a couple of gigabytes of transfrerred data.

other guests keep running fine (no regressions) and nothing unusual is
observed on the host.

fedora 8 host, kvm-72 (user and module)

fedora 9 guest, all updates.
        nic 0, vtio:
        subnet a
        samba listening

        nic 1, vtio:
        subnet b
        iscsi initiator running

        samba shares a mount point, pointing to an iscsi target.


now pulling/pushing about 80GB over samba results in a drop from about
60/70Mbit to about 1/2Mbit of troughput.

The problem is reproducible.
The problem is solved after a reboot of the guest. Just restarting
networking doesn't help.
Guest's dmesg doesn't say anything about problems. No errors in
ifconfig.

Has someone observed something similar?

We just saw the very same issue.
guest & host :  2.6.25.3, debian etch 64 bits

KVM 70 on this machine.

As fabian said, rebooting the kernel doesn't help, but rebooting the whole kvm guest does.

No error messages as far as I can tell. The kvm guest is a clonezilla server and send lots of data.
It began to crawl after 2/3 weeks of usage.
