Subject: Using tools such as ionice inside guests
Date: Wed, 18 May 2016 17:49:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <573C8EEF.9060000@easter-eggs.com> (raw)
Dear kvm developpers/users,
I just saw that a change has been made in the kernel so the only one
scheduler available in guests for virtio-blk is now "none".
Seems introduced by [1].
I tried to used ionice on a 3.16 guest with virtio-blk and in fact it no
longer works because cfq is no longer available.
Is there a way to use, inside a guest, a tool like ionice to set
different IO priority in guests processes? It's very useful for loering
down the performance impact of backups jobs for example.
