In virt-manager when you look at the VM properties (the light bulb icon), you can select different bits of virtual hardware and fiddle with things like the disk cache mode. Annoyingly, however, all it ever says when you look at it at first is "default", so you have no clue what the default setting is. I experimented once a long time ago with all the different cache modes, and found writeback much faster than the default (or course, for all I know the default is now better, but I can't tell because I still can't find out what "default" means :-). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
