This is what I have:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<source dev='/dev/mapper/local-vrici_root'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
So, yeah, pretty much, although note tat you're making /dev/sdi*1*
available, which is a partition, not a disk. Regardless,
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fliaat%2Fliaattuncache.htm
(and other things I've seen) suggest cache=none for these cases.
