>I found that, the pveperf shows incredibeli low FSYNC, even 0.89.

>Guys, seriously, what the hack could happen to cause this incredibely low

>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.
>
>Summary: BBU is recommended using a system like this.

>Check the system with the command megacli -CfgDsply -aALL and grep the cache settings:

>Default Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAdaptive, Cached, Write Cache OK if Bad BBU
>Current Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAdaptive, Cached, Write Cache OK if Bad BBU
