Yes. Something like this: qemu -drive file=foo.img,cache=writeback/unsafe is not safe against power losses also?
cache=writeback and cache=none are safe, cache=unsafe isn't.
I think we can add REQ_FLUSH & REQ_FUA support to bio path and that deserves another patch.
You only need to add REQ_FLUSH support. The virtio-blk protocol does not support REQ_FUA, because there's no easy way to do it in userspace. Paolo
