--- Comment #6 from rkoberman@gmail.com ---
The adjustments in comment 3 seem to work, although vfs.aio.aiod_timeout do=
es
not exist in 11.0 and vfs.aio.max_aio_procs defaults to 4, so is a noop.

Some of the others seem a bit extreme and I suspect tuning them back would =
be
reasonable. The queue depths are being set to the maximum possible. I suspe=
ct
4096 and 1024 would be adequate.

Not really sure why the reduction of maximum AIO processes to 4, but does n=
ot
seem unreasonable. Likewise the 10x increase in idle time for AIO processes.

The final two, max_aio_per_proc and max_buf_aio also look a bit extreme. Bu=
mped
from 32 and 16 to 8K is probably overkill. I'll play around with them and s=
ee
what I find.

Finally, these may require tuning for the number of VMs.

In any case, I can now run my VM without the disk lock-ups.
