Greetings
Has libvirt dedicated page cache area for guest ?
If not - what is the difference between
cache='none' and cache='directsync' ?

As I understand 'unsafe' - always remove flags O_SYNC|O_DIRECT fron
guest level.
What about other cache options - how it work ?
Would be glad see any schema or description, if You have.
