Why Is the Linux Block-Level Migration Very Slow?

Symptom

During a Linux block-level migration, you found that the actual migration rate was far lower than the bandwidth limit you configured.

Possible Causes

The possible causes are as follows:

A small amount of data is stored in disk blocks.
A large number of sparse files are stored in source disks.

In a Linux block-level migration, data is compressed before being transmitted. If the disk blocks to be migrated store a small amount of data or are empty, the data compression rate is high, for example, 100 MB of data is compressed to 5 MB. Though the displayed migration rate is very low, the migration is performance quickly, and the network connection and the bandwidth are normal.
