Bug fix #1107: Only set cache=none to disks that support direct IO

[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] [Kimchi] Bug fix #1107: Only set cache=none to disks that support direct IO

Posted by Aline Manera 7 years, 7 months ago

ZFS volumes and GlusterFS does not support direct IO and setting
cache=none will not allow the guest to start. So only set cache=none
when direct IO is supported to avoid problems.
