Subject: [PULL 18/18] qemu-img info: Add cache mode option
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 13:06:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029120634.288467-19-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029120634.288467-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
When querying block limits, different cache modes (in particular
O_DIRECT or not) can result in different limits. Add an option to
'qemu-img info' that allows the user to specify a cache mode, so that
they can get the block limits for the cache mode they intend to use with
their VM.
