Hello,

I'm currently testing the KVM part of the new RHEL5.4.
I'm using IoZone becnhmark to test IO performance.

For my test I have dedicate a LVM partition to the IoZone benchmark :
iozone -a -U /mnt/bench/  -f /mnt/bench/test-file -R -b <file.xls>

I use the LVM partition in evry test (inside the VM or outside the VM).

Something is strange : IO Disk performance are better in a VM ... 
I have test a KVM VM with the option cache=none for the disk (system and 
bench), but the performance  are still better ...

Well I suppose something (KVM, special optimisation ?) do a cache but I didn't 
find anything to control the behaviour ....

Any idea plz ? 


Thank you in advance.

Regards,
