Hi All!I have recently been troubled by qemu's disk cache, I learned from here
the difference between them.And I think that writethrough should be able to
guarantee that the virtual machine will not have data loss in the case of a
host power outage.But my test results show that writethrough does not guarantee
data security, only in the case of dd with oflag = sync(no matter
writeback/none/writethrough), to ensure that the data is not lost. So I think
that the different modes of qemu disk cache just guarantee that the data is
missing less, writethrough does not mean that we can be assured that the data
will not be lost.Is my understanding right? Or are I totally wrong?
about environment
qemu version: 2.3.1openstack version: junohost os: CentOS 7guest os: CentOS 7
and close lvm write cache (/etc/lvm/lvm.conf write_cache = 0)Cinder backend
storage: IPSANTest method: guest os: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/Test_disk bs=1M
count=1 host os: kill -9 ${guest_pid}
