[libvirt] [PATCH v5 1/2] conf: Add support of zero-detection for disks

Martin Kletzander mkletzan at redhat.com
Fri Jun 10 22:12:26 UTC 2016


This option allows or disallows detection of zero-writes if it is set to
"on" or "off", respectively.  It can be also set to "unmap" in which
case it will try discarding that part of image based on the value of the
"discard" option.

+            The optional <code>detect_zeroes</code> attribute controls whether
+            to detect zero write requests.  The value can be "off", "on" or
+            "unmap".  First two values turn the detection off and on,
+            respectively.  The third value ("unmap") turns the detection on
+            and additionally tries to discard such areas from the image based
+            on the value of <code>discard</code> above (it will act as "on"
+            if <code>discard</code> is set to "ignore").  NB enabling the
+            detection is a compute intensive operation, but can save file
+            space and/or time on slow media.
