Hi,

Is there a way to create new KVM VMs with the virtio_scsi module loaded by default? The currently running virtio_blk does not support fstrim and the node has SSDs as storage.

Code
[root@my-server01 grub2]# fstrim /
fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported


The layers are SSDs -> mdraid -> LVM -> Guest OS.

Let me know if you need any other info.

Thank you.

Hi,

We are going to add support for fstrim soon.
For now, Virtualizor will not create vps disk with virtio_scsi .

Hi,

Do you have a roadmap for this? What is the timeline for making this happen? (1 month, 6 months, 2 years, etc.).

Also, do you plan on keeping the virtio_blk as the default module or do you want to change it to virtio_scsi?

From what I've found, the virtio_blk has discard enabled only in kernel 5.0:

Thank you.

Hi,

Fstrim support was added in Virtualizor 3.0.3 and it would work automatically for KVM vpses created using virtio-scsi driver on thin-provisioned storage.

Awesome to hear that! One question - is there a way to make virtio-scsi the default driver when creating new KVM guest?

Hi,

You can have that set as default in plans and create vps using those plans.

That did the trick, thanks.

There's one issue I'm not sure about, when I tested the virtio-scsi driver on CentOS 7 with ZFS Thin storage, it worked perfectly, when on KVM I deleted a big file, the volume was auto trimmed.

I'm now testing the Virtualizor on CentOS 8 and... it's not auto trimming anymore, is that because of CentOS8 or something else that I'm not aware about?

Or it's working but the auto trim isn't instant, how often the auto trim runs ?

I've checked everything and it seems I've been testing with 'discard' enabled in KVM guest's /etc/fstab - that would explain the auto trim after deletion.

So, there's no auto-trim from the virtualizor node and the trim needs to be done on the KVM guest side. If I'm correct.

Hi,


Cron is set to weekly : /etc/cron.weekly within vps, so it should work fine as it worked for your centos 7 vps.
