Hi,

I've made a custom centos 6.7 image on a proxmox with kvm hypervisor
with the goal of using it with openstack. I setup all the necessary
cloud-init packages that are needed by openstack. Everything seems to
work fine on openstack, except that the drive speed in fio is about 50%
of what I can achieve on other images.

Basically, on a ubuntu 14.04 with the following FIO command, I can reach
about 1 GB/sec :

fio --name=testfio --filename=testfio --bs=4m --rw=write --size=5g

However, on my centos 6.7 image, I will only reach about 400 MB/sec. Why
is there such a huge discrepancy between both OS? I've always used
virtio, both on the proxmox hypervisor and on openstack.
