Hello List, I hope some other folks out there running FreeBSD on KVM as well. I set up a base VM while doing so I noticed that the disk operations are very slow. Many times I edit a file in vim or try to run a command there is a huge lag.
I use UFS as the root filesystem. To have something to compare it with I have tested it against an OpenBSD 6.6 VM on the same host, same hardware. both have 1 vCPU and 1GB of ram, 20GB virtual disk (they are exactly on the same physical disk no raid or anything to have a fair comparison). Here is an example simple file search time for a non-existent file: FreeBSD 13 time find / -name cacert.pem real 0m30.656s user 0m0.516s sys 0m3.938s Second run even worse real 2m38.618s user 0m0.711s sys 0m6.882s While on the OpenBSD VM I get time find / -name cacert.pem real 0m2.258s user 0m0.290s sys 0m1.970s The amount of data is about the same on both systems but I would not consider this a "slight" performance degradation. If the base system is so slow then imagine putting Apache and other servers on top of it. Did anyone run into this? Unless there is a definitive solution I will opt out to using other BSD variants. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
