[pve-devel] qemu 1.2 :default cache mode writeback

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

I have found the commit, 
I'm not sure it's related to the host cache, but maybe more the cache inside the guest ?




"Now all major device models (IDE, SCSI, virtio) can choose between
writethrough and writeback at run-time, and virtio will even revert
to writethrough if the guest is not capable of sending flushes.  So
we can change the default to writeback at last.

Tested, for lack of a better idea, with a breakpoint on bdrv_open
and all cache choices one by one.

I just see that in the release note: 

block: default cache mode is now writeback 


Maybe do we need to warn proxmox users and update pve-manager ? 

(default was cache=none if not defined)
