      i am going to upgrade to 8.3 and see if it fixed it but ssd performance is horrible and a full cr backup takes 15 hrs for a 400GB backup. strange thing if i run windows backup to a iscsi drive it backs up in 2 hrs. i cant find and reason why dive performance is so low but it can be faster for backups ect. if i image to a new drive it seems to get better for a bit but not long.its a hp z440 workstation .cpu load is low and all vms on macjine have low usage and cant find a reason for slow extream performance. thin provisioned ext.

      any ideas ?
      i have been using xcp for long time and cant figure this out.
      running server 2022
      windows update managed vm drivers.
      This is after a backup finishes drive performance just tanks
      first image is while running a 6gig compressing zip file inside vm

      both are on same drives. about 400gig on 0% drive and 250 gig om other
      the cant seem to find bottleneck

        Check the disk scheduler on the Dom0 for this drive.

            Use this command: (replace sda in the command below with the relevant device)
            cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
            The active scheduler will be enclosed in brackets. e.g. noop deadline [cfq]

            For multiple drives use:
            grep "" /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler
