Is it possible (planned?) to make rsync avoid going through system cache and use direct IO? Right now, if you decide to backup your desktop system (but it's not only about desktop systems; rather more about one-time-only data transfers) to external disk, you will notice that your X session lags terribly, mainly because: - system caches everything what rsync reads from the original drive,

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi Paolo, Stefan, & QEMU folks, The following is the second RFC series for vhost-scsi patches against mainline QEMU v1.1.0.
