Do you have a RAID setup > underneath LVM? Not for windows, but in general it is running quite fast, only the chkdsk seems to be bad. In other VMs (linux), I'm achieving write speeds >40MB/s. Storage configuration is a bit comples, it's DRBD replicated storage, on top of it sits clustered LVM and KVMS use logical volumes on top of it. but as I said, overall performance is OK. > > Stefan > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- ------------------------------------- Ing.
