Yes, I wouldn't expect to change anything for caching. But I still
don't understand why caching would change anything at all ... all of
it should be handled within the librbd lib.


Note that I would recommend against caching anyway. The blktap layer
doesn't pass through the FLUSH commands and so this make it completely
unsafe because the VM will think things are commited to disk durably
even though they are not ...

It's actually strange that it changes anything at all.

Can you try adding a ERROR("HERE\n");  in that error path processing
and check syslog to see if it's triggered at all ?

A traceback would be great if you can get a core file. And possibly
compile tapdisk with debug symbols.


Cheers,
