Sorry for the probably stupid question, what are the pros and cons of
default use of phy instead qdisk for raw files as domU disk?
There's no stupid question. :-)
I was told that it performs better and enables other potential
improvements.
Not a big deal, probably, but IMO it would be nice to have at least a
few words about when it's happening in the changelog, wouldn't it?
I'm also interested in detailed changelog about.
In the meantime, I saw this:

Based on the post above seems that phy will have important risk of data
loss if I understand good, from Ian Campbell post:
xl also uses qdisk for raw disk images instead of loop+blkback which
xend used, because there are concerns that the loop driver can lead to
data loss (by not implementing direct i/o the underlying device, and/or
not handling flushes correct, my memory is a bit fuzzy).
Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.

Dario
