kirkyg Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I noticed that my proxmox instance had some small cpu load and I had disconnected from my windows 10 vm which was doing nothing at the time. The only other thing running was my unraid VM so i was looking in to it to see how much cpu utilization there was. I currently have an lsi hba card passed through that is running preclear on one 14TB drive. I logged into the VM and see 2 cores I have allocated showing one at 100% pegged and the other moving between about 40-90%. When I run htop command in the terminal, as you can see below, there are only 2-3 processes above 0% and the preclear activity is top one with only 5-7% cpu utilization. Is this a reporting issue in the VM where its looking at the entire cpu capacity and reporting against all cores even though only 2 should be allocated as available resources? I also would not expect a preclear operation to max out two cores of a zen 3 5800x - any ideas? Edited January 30, 2023 by kirkyg Quote Link to comment
Solution JonathanM Posted January 31, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 31, 2023 Dashboard includes cpu time spent waiting for i/o, and since preclear is waiting for the disk i/o 100% of the time it's running... Quote Link to comment
