<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have a system with PVE 1.8 with HW raid card (Intel RS2BL040), without BBU, 4 x 1.5Tbyte hdd in RAID10</p>
<p>I found that, the pveperf shows incredibeli low FSYNC, even 0.89.</p>
<p>Guys, seriously, what the hack could happen to cause this incredibely low measurement? Here are some test data and details about the system and settings.</p>
<p>Does anybody meet this kind of situation?</p>
<p>Any hints, documentation on the web are welcome.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>István<br />

<p>Just for the record:</p>
<p>When BBU is not exists, the default cache policy is no cache. So, forcing it to use even BBU not present helped in that case the fsync value goes up to above 3000. There are still lower fsync values and jumping speed values, but now these are much better than before.</p>
<p>Summary: BBU is recommended using a system like this.</p>
<p>Check the system with the command <strong>megacli -CfgDsply -aALL</strong> and grep the cache settings:</p>
<p>Default Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAdaptive, Cached, Write Cache OK if Bad BBU<br />
Current Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAdaptive, Cached, Write Cache OK if Bad BBU</p>
