[PATCH v2] qemu: Support copy on read for disk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
wether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
