[pve-devel] Default cache mode for VM hard drives

[Stanislav German-Evtushenko]

Hi Alexandre,

I've noticed your message in pve-devel (
http://pve.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2015-April/014811.html) and
already tested aio=threads with cache=none - same result, it produced a lot
of out of sync blocks.

Best regards,
Stanislav
