Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH qemu 1/1] PVE Backup: allow passing max-workers performance setting
Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2022 15:52:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221003135211.183340-2-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221003135211.183340-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
For query-proxmox-support, add an indication that it's possible to use
the setting.
For now, the other two BackupPerf settings are not exposed:
* use-copy-range: would need to be implemented by the backup-dump
block driver first, and in fact, the default for backup was changed,
because it wasn't as fast for backup in QEMU, see commit
6a30f663d4c0b3c45a544d541e0c4e214b2473a1.
* max-chunk: enforced to be at least the backup cluster size, which is
4 MiB for PBS and otherwise maximum of source and target cluster size.
And block-copy has a maximum buffer size of 1 MiB, so setting a larger
max-chunk doesn't even have an effect. To make the setting sensibly
usable the check would need to be removed and optionally the
block-copy max buffer size would need to be bumped. I tried doing just
that, and tested different source/target combinations with different
max-chunk settings, but there were no noticable improvements over the
default "unlimited" (resulting in 1 MiB for block-copy).
