This cache-size setting still doesn't work for me. When setting it to 8G,
console has the same error:
[ 2.983216] virtio_fs virtio1: Cache len: 0x200000000 @ 0x600000000
[ 2.984481] x86/PAT: systemd-udevd:278 conflicting memory types 600000000-808000000 write-back<->uncached-minus
[ 2.986346] x86/PAT: reserve_memtype failed [mem 0x600000000-0x807ffffff], track write-back, req write-back
[ 3.014115] virtio_fs: probe of virtio1 failed with error -16
And, the /proc/iomem shows:
