Well, when I use hdparm -W 0 /dev/vdx to choose the writethrough cache
in the Guest (virtio disk), it says:
test@vm1:~$ sudo hdparm -W 0 /dev/vdb
/dev/vdb:
setting drive write-caching to 0 (off)
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(flushcache) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setcache) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(flushcache) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Do I need extra flags to enable WCE?
Both Guest and Host kernel is 3.7 and I start QEMU by following command:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -drive
file=~/images/test1,if=virtio,cache=writeback -smp 2 -cpu host -m 1024
-drive file=sheepdog:test,if=virtio,cache=writeback
Thanks,
Yuan
