[pve-devel] Default cache mode for VM hard drives

[Cesar Peschiera]

Hi Stanislav

I don't try to convince to everybody that the problem not exist, i am only commenting my personal experiences and trying of help to those in need.

But if you think that my comments are not necessaries, please excuse me, and for this topic, I will not do comments again.
Moreover, I don't know why I don't have this same problem that you have ¿? ¿? ¿?
I just wanted to cooperate with this community trying of find the root of this strange problem !!!.

Best regards
Cesar
