# applications using the host's io cache, and (2) ensure that the data is
# on persistent storage when the command exits. Without (2), a host crash
# may leave a corrupt image in the image cache, which Nova cannot recover
# automatically.
# NOTE(zigo): we cannot use -t none if the instances dir is mounted on a
# filesystem that doesn't have support for O_DIRECT, which is the case
# for example with tmpfs. This simply crashes "openstack server create"
# in environments like live distributions. In such case, the best choice
# is writethrough, which is power-failure safe, but still faster than
# writeback.
