From 02af5c9a75bd7bfd36ba115761e4a6c97ca1789f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julio Montes Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 15:47:32 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] runtime: clh: disable virtiofs DAX when FS cache size is 0 Guest consumes 120Mb more of memory when DAX is enabled and the default FS cache size (8G) is used. Disable dax when it is not required reducing guest's memory footprint.
