Subject: | [Qemu-devel] effect of cluster_size on qcow2 performance during expansion |
Date: | Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:54:15 +0530 |
Hi all
I have been working on the qcow2 image format ,
In theory regarding cluster size it is written that as the size of cluster increase performance should increase.
But something surprising happen The performance is degrading as the size of cluster increased from 64K to 1M or 2M ( during expansion of qcow2 image)
By expansion i mean that initially qcow2 image is small in size and size increases when we perform any write operation on it.
Here are the reading taken through fio tool during write operation
Cluster size : 32K 587Mb/sec (aggrb MB/sec)
can any one tell why ?
