- Use more friendly output with GiB and MiB/s
- Measure time per operation, providing finer grain stats
- Add total stats for understanding system throughput
- Add missing stats for flush
I hope that these changes will help to understand and improve virt-v2v
performance.
Changes since v1:
- Keep bytes values
- Increase precision to 0.001 GiB and 0.001 MiB/s
- Add total stats
- Show time before size/rate for more consistent format
- Streamline using new record_stat() and print_stat()
v1 was here:

New subject: [PATCH nbdkit v2 1/3] filters: stats: Add size in GiB, show rate in MiB/s
I find bytes and bits-per-second unhelpful and hard to parse.
Add also size in GiB, and show rate in MiB per second. This works
well for common disk images and storage.
Here is an example run with this change:
$ ./nbdkit --foreground \

--exportname '' \
--filter stats \
file file=/var/tmp/dst.img \
statsfile=/dev/stderr \

New subject: [PATCH nbdkit v2 2/3] filters: stats: Measure time per operation
Previously we measured the total time and used it to calculate the rate
of different operations. This is misleading and hiding the real
throughput. Change single operation stats to use the time spent in this
operation.
To understand total system throughput, show also new "total" stats,
summing ops, bytes of other operations, and using the total time. This
works well for copying images to/from nbdkit.
Here is an example run with this change:
$ ./nbdkit --foreground \
--unix /tmp/nbd.sock \
--exportname '' \
--filter stats \
file file=/var/tmp/dst.img \
statsfile=/dev/stderr \
--run 'qemu-img convert -p -n -f raw -O raw -T none /var/tmp/fedora-30.img
nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd.sock'
(100.00/100%)
total: 2299 ops, 2.190 s, 6442450944 bytes, 6.000 GiB, 2804.977 MiB/s
write: 1271 ops, 0.359 s, 1219244032 bytes, 1.136 GiB, 3237.466 MiB/s
zero: 1027 ops, 0.012 s, 5223206912 bytes, 4.864 GiB, 398658.526 MiB/s
extents: 1 ops, 0.000 s, 2147483136 bytes, 2.000 GiB, 113777750.651 MiB/s
This shows that the actual time waiting for storage was only 0.4
seconds, but elapsed time was 2.1 seconds. I think the missing time is
in flush() which we do not measure yet.

New subject: [PATCH nbdkit v2 3/3] filters: stats: Add flush stats
I have pushed some parts of these patches in order to reduce the delta
between your patches and upstream. However still some problems with
the series:
Patch 1: Same problem with scale as discussed before.
Patch 2: At least the documentation needs to be updated since it no
longer matches what is printed. The idea of collecting the time taken
in each operation is good on its own, so I pushed that part of it
along with small const-correctness and whitespace fixes:
https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/f280530d7d042d5e8f100125ab061...
Why don't we show the total time and time / operation on each line of
output (ie. per operation), instead of synthesizing the total by
adding up reads and writes?
Patch 3: The idea of collecting flush stats is good so I pushed that
part, as well as updating the documentation:
https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/8adf601835aee3779e278e13cae04...
I omitted the "if (st->bytes > 0)" part of the patch so this shows
"0
bytes" which is of course wrong but we can fix that later.

Why don't we show the total time and time / operation on each

I think that synthesizing totals give better view on total application
throughput, and add
information that was not available before, like total number of ops.
Showing two rate
values per operation looks confusing to me.
But how about this:
----------------------------------------------
total: 2299 ops, 2.172 s, 6.00 GiB, 2.76 GiB/s
520.73 MiB/s write, 2.23 GiB/s zero

zero: 1027 ops, 0.012 s, 4.86 GiB, 405.00 GiB/s
extents: 1 ops, 0.000 s, 2.00 GiB, 485.29 GiB/s
