Hi Vasily, I've upgraded two nodes last week from 113.12 to 113.21 and it seems better. Backups last weekend took the same time as it was on <=108.8. I'll still keep an eye on this and also on the development of 115 in OpenVZ Jira. Thanks! Karl On Thu, Mar 31, 2016 at 4:13 AM, Vasily Averin

Hi Vasily, I do indeed use simfs / ext4 / cfq. Only a backup of each containers private areas is done with vzdump and then transferred to a backup server with ncftpput. Compressing the data is OK while transferring the dump over local network peak the load so the issue is with (read) IO. I’m

Dear Karl, thank you for explanation. however some details are still not it clear. I believe you use simfs containers (otherwise you can do not worry about PSBM-34244, using of 113.12 kernels also confirms it) but it isn't clear how exactly you backup your nodes. Do you dump whole partition

Disks are fine and RAID is optimal. It doesn't happen only when backups run but it's easier to see during this time. What's strange is that there were no issue on <108 kernels. It could have been this following patch from RedHat but 113 isn't based on 2.6.32-573.22.1, 114 will be I think. **

Dear Karl, no, we know nothing about possible performance degradation between 042stab108.x and 042stab113.x kernels. High load average and CPU peaks are not a problems per se, it can be caused by increased activity on your nodes. Could you please explain in more details, why you believe you

Hello, Did anyone notice performance degradation after upgrading vzkernel to 042stab113.X? I’ve been running 042stab108.5 on few nodes for a while with no issue and upgraded to 042stab113.12 few weeks ago to fix an important CVE and rebase to latest rhel6 kernel. Since the upgrade from 108.5 to
