OMG, that is so much better. Thank you. Now your comment from earlier this week @EddieJennings makes perfect sense.

This is bizarre. I just set up a Plex VM on KVM. If I pump a lot of traffic to the VM (like copying movies to it), the VM will go into a paused state.

Check the SAR report to see what the wait states are like.

Sigh... no need. I know why. I am out of space on the host drive. Stupid mistake.
How would you suggest the partition layout for the HyperVisor? I have 4.5 TB of space once the array is setup. Obviously, I'll be using LVM here.
-
One small volume for the hypervisor, maybe 12GB. Everything else in one big volume.

Yeah, so not the "Automatic partition" defaults on the standard installation....

Not normally, no.

@scottalanmiller Like so?
-
Yup

@scottalanmiller Good, because that's what I went with.

LOL, sorry, was on the phone.

No worries. My family is on me asking why Plex isn't available, so I just went with it.

LOL, can't live without that VM, apparently.

When it's bitter cold outside, and it's now dark at 5:00, they need their movies.

Why EXT4?
Is there something wrong using ext4 instead of xfs besides Red Hat/CentOS using it by default?

I have the same question.

As with everything, reverse the question - is there something right about it? XFS is faster and more stable. What does EXT4 have going for it? EXT4 is not a bad filesystem, but "not bad" isn't a reason to choose a filesystem. Which one is best for your environment? I don't know any server environments where EXT4 is good enough to be considered - because it would have to be meaningfully better than XFS in some area for that to be useful.

Looks like I just need to read up on ext4 vs xfs.
