From e1396f04028e50e33684aadaae42d136e8a82595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julio Montes Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 10:26:36 -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.
