@Vicente-Cheng @asettle could you please review this? It documents the VM storage performance options from harvester/harvester-ui-extension#1133 (harvester/harvester#11550), with a new Advanced page that explains what each setting does, its trade-offs, and its recommended use. Thanks! |

Documents the VM storage performance options added to the Harvester UI in harvester/harvester-ui-extension#1133 (harvester/harvester#11550).
Adds a new page, Advanced > VM Storage Performance Options (
docs/advanced/vm-storage-performance.md), and a short Storage performance options section indocs/vm/create-vm.mdthat links to it. Both are also added to the v1.9 docs, since the feature targets v1.9.1.The page explains what each setting does, its trade-offs, and its recommended use:
The descriptions are based on the KubeVirt user guide, the QEMU and libvirt documentation, and behaviour verified on Harvester v1.9.0 with KubeVirt 1.8.4. The same behaviour is covered by the robot suite in harvester/tests#2922.
Dependencies
mainonly.io: nativewith a different cache mode describes the current behaviour (the virtual machine is accepted but fails to start). If webhook: reject native I/O with a host cache mode harvester#11806 merges, that combination is rejected at admission instead, and I will update the caution accordingly.No screenshots yet. Images of the expanded per-disk section and the VM-wide section would help after the profile table and in the VM-wide section.
