I am using KVM 69 and kernel 2.6.25.17 to host several VM's in a large server. So far, everything has been great. Except I'm adding a Windows Server VM that will run a SQL Server database. A few times I've noticed that I/O becomes a bottleneck for the VM and Windows VM freezes for a few seconds. Oh well, no biggie. Except, every so often, these I/O bottlenecks start to affect other VM's and they freeze as well for a few seconds. I don't really care of one VM does so much I/O that it freezes itself temporarily. I just don't want I/O bottlenecks on one VM to affect other VM's.
My questions are: 1. Is this a problem anyone else has experienced and has it been fixed in a later KVM release? 2. I'm using the CFQ scheduler. Would the deadline scheduler do a better job? 3. Any other suggestions to improve this problem? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
