[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] qemu-img convert: use cache=none

Does qemu-img mirror really send the flush with writeback ?


for ceph, by default:

"rbd cache writethrough until flush = true"


and we have a patch for rbd driver

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-qemu.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/pve/0018-block-rbd-disable-rbd_cache_writethrough_until_flush.patch;h=e75da3c6cf820999d1b696ddac6d63a61f8a529f;hb=HEAD


which said : if cache=unsafe, "rbd cache writethrough until flush=false"



(I need to dig in pve-devel mailing, I think we have already talk about this 1 or 2 years ago)

the default for convert is 'unsafe', which is writeback+no-flush. 'none' 
is writeback+direct instead, so I don't think this should affect rbd.
