SSD drives are not possible on the budget we are on.
We allocate around 80% of the space in the LV partition when we fill up the whole node. as already explained the issues we have had is with SolusVM due to the KVM implementation is not as good. as let's say Proxmox.
SolusVM (KVM) Test Box1:
top - 00:18:52 up 5 days, 20:21, 1 user, load average: 2.61, 3.03, 2.94
Tasks: 510 total, 12 running, 498 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 28.8%us, 19.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 49.9%id, 1.5%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st
Proxmox (KVM) Test Box2:
top - 13:18:31 up 1 day, 8:49, 1 user, load average: 0.69, 0.92, 1.08
Tasks: 455 total, 6 running, 449 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 16.4%us, 14.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 68.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st
The promox VM currently has 10 more virtual machines then the SolusVM test box. during a OS install the %wa will rise around 16.5%wa, while the Proxmox will rise around 2.67%wa. Including it has around 30-50% faster install speeds.
When the SolusVM node is full it can take between 40-50 minutes for a OS reinstall, on the proxmox node around 5 minutes. when the node is empty it will still take around 15 minutes. see the differences?
