GPFS is 'IBM General Parallel File System', also called

It is better if the VM I/O is not synchronous.
It is racommended to use writeback caching policy.
Using writeback may lead to a data loss if qemu is killed on destination
and underlying FS has not synced the data. Since I don't have GPFS I
can't confirm it's behaving safely on migration. And I wasn't fortunate
finding that on the internet either.
