Modern qemu actually split the cache option. You absolute want cache.direct=on. If you don't do simulated power fail testing by killing qemu (or run real workloads for the matter, but who does that :)) it might make sense to just ignore the flushes with cache.no-flush=on as well, which is what I do for my test VMs on the laptop. _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list Linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
