Well, for decent qemu performance you always want to use DIRECT I/O. directsync is generally not a very good idea as it forces every write to be synchronous and will give you very bad performance. What did you use before? At least for older qemu the default was buffered I/O, which can lead to very expensive fua or flush calls. _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list Linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
