Hi Wido, This is for KVM (with Ceph backend as it happens), the API documentation is out of sync with UI capabilities, so I'm trying to figure out if we *should* be able to set cacheMode for root disks. It seems to make quite a difference to performance.

In case of KVM it's passed down to XML which then passes it to Qemu/KVM which then handles the caching. The implementation varies per hypervisor, so that should be the question.
