While this is nice, this is an unfair comparison from a benchmark PoV, because of you are, of course, trading away a bit of your data-safety. It is still safe against guest power-off, but not necessarily against host power-off. Also, since there is no magic, this can hurt you in very dense scenarios. The "-drive" parameter will probably have a "cache" specifier, which is what you are looking for. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
