Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: [RFC] Disk integrity in QEMU

[Laurent Vivier]

Hi,

I made some tests on my system.

Intel Xeon, 2 GB RAM
Disk SATA 80 GB, using 4 GB Partitions

my guests are:

qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ../victory.qcow2 -drive 
file=/dev/sdc1,if=virtio,cache=on -net 
nic,model=virtio,macaddress=52:54:00:12:34:71 -net tap -serial stdio -m 512 
-nographic

qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ../valkyrie.qcow2 -drive 
file=/dev/sdc2,if=virtio,cache=on -net 
nic,model=virtio,macaddress=52:54:00:12:34:72 -net tap -serial stdio -m 512 
-nographic

I use the fio command given by Ryan with a 5 GB dataset (bigger than
host RAM).

Results follow.
