Subject: [PATCH] v2v: -o libvirt: Remove cache=none (RHBZ#1837453).
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
|
|
|

Traditionally if you did live migration (KVM to KVM), you had to
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
ensure that cache=none was set on all disks of the guest up front.
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
This was because of quirks in how NFS works (I think the close-to-open
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
consistency and the fact that during live migration both qemus have
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
the file open), and we had to assume the worst case that a guest might
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
be backed by NFS.
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
Because of this when virt-v2v converts a guest to run on KVM using
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
libvirt it sets cache=none.
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
This is not necessary with modern qemu. If qemu supports the
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
drop-cache property of the file block driver, which libvirt will
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
automatically detect for us, then libvirt live migration is able to
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
tell qemu to drop cached data at the right time even if the backing is
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
NFS.
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
It also had a significant performance impact. In some synthetic
|
|
|
62f9b7 |
benchmarks it could show 2 or 3 times slower performance.
