Hello,
Queries:
1 - what is the best RAID (0,1,5,10,50) for server running very, very
VM instances ???
2 - and config of stripes/element sizes (32, 64, 128, 256, etc, KB) ??
I guess it depends more on the kind of disk activity of the VMs rather than
the number of VMs. Database server? Desktop? Media streamer?
As you may know, RAID 5 is the all around performer and large stripes
give higher performance on large files.
3 - in the configuration of VM, exit one difference in performance
between image file (disk:/) or LVM partition (phy:/) ???
I guess you mean file:/ instead of disk:/
They theory would say using a partition is faster, since it evades
the inherent filesystem overhead of using a file.
Experience-wise, 'tap:aio' performs better that 'file' while doing the same
job, have it a look.
