[ceph-users] KRBD: downside of setting alloc_size=4M for discard alignment?

2024-10-25 Thread Friedrich Weber
Hi, Some of our Proxmox VE users have noticed that a large fstrim inside a QEMU/KVM guest does not free up as much space as expected on the backing RBD image -- if the image is mapped on the host via KRBD and passed to QEMU as a block device (checked via `rbd du --exact`). If the image is attached

Hi Ilya, some of our Proxmox VE users also report they need to enable rxbounce to avoid their Windows VMs triggering these errors, see e.g. [1]. With rxbounce, everything seems to work smoothly, so thanks for adding this option. :) We're currently checking how our stack could handle this more gra
