[libvirt] [PATCH v4 1/2] conf: Add support of zero-detection for disks

Martin Kletzander mkletzan at redhat.com
Sun Jun 5 00:46:25 UTC 2016


This option allows or disallows detection of zero-writes if it is set to
"on" or "off", respectively.  It can be also set to "unmap" in which
case it will try discarding that part of image based on the value of the
"discard" option.
