From 94301da385eea27bfd9191cfc3f68b8df2e21987 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Reitz Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:17:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 11/19] qemu-img: clarify src_cache option documentation Message-id: <1414138680-19600-4-git-send-email-mreitz@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 61864 O-Subject: [RHEL-7.1 qemu-kvm PATCH v2 3/4] qemu-img: clarify src_cache option documentation Bugzilla: 1138691 RH-Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek RH-Acked-by: Markus Armbruster RH-Acked-by: Kevin Wolf From: Stefan Hajnoczi The source cache option takes the same values as the cache option. The documentation reads a little strange because it starts with "In contrast the src_cache option ...". The fact that this is comparing with the previous documented option (the 'cache' option) is implicit. Readers may be confused, especially if they jump to src_cache without reading cache documentation first.
