[libvirt] [PATCH v3 2/5] xml: add disk driver metadata_cache_size option

Nikolay Shirokovskiy nshirokovskiy at virtuozzo.com
Thu Jan 10 12:15:14 UTC 2019


The options specifies metadata cache size policy for a disk.
This is going to be used only for QEMU and only for qcow2 images in
next patch to set qcow2 L2 cache size.

+            The optional <code>metadata_cache_size</code> attribute specifies
+            metadata cache size policy. Possible values are "default" and
+            "maximum". Using "default" leaves setting cache size to the hypervisor,
+            Using "maximum" ensures entire disk cache remains in memory, increasing
+            IO but utilizing more memory. This policy helps if workload's
+            disk working set (the amount of disk data used intensively) is too large
+            to be covered by cache size by "default" policy.
+            (<span class="since">Since 5.0.0, QEMU 3.0</span>). The option makes
