Real disks don't provide that security unless you disable the disk's cache, or issue cache flush instructions to the disk. Modern guest OS filesystems are written with this in mind. With older guest OSes, you have to disable the disk cache if you want that kind of security with real disks. Is there any reason why the emulation should be any different? -- Jamie _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
