`./check` has a `-c` option (e.g. `./check -c none`), which lands in
`iotests.cachemode`.  That isn’t automatically passed to qemu-img calls,
but you can do it manually (i.e. `qemu_img_log("checksum", "-T",
iotests.cachemode, disk_top)` instead of `"-T", "none"`).

Ok, I will change to use the current cache setting.

Yes, I see, but that’s a general thing in the iotests.  The design is
such that tests don’t cycle through their test matrix themselves, but
that they always only test a single combination of format+protocol on
each run, and the user is responsible for cycling through the desired
test matrix.

I’m not saying that was definitely the best design decision, but the
problem now that if a test cycles through its test matrix by itself, it
must also ensure that it is run only once when the user cycles through
the same test matrix.  For example, a reasonable run of the iotests
consists of `./check -raw`, `./check -qcow2`, and `./check -nbd`.  This
test here would then run in all three configurations, but do the same
thing every time (specifically, test all of those configurations every
time).

So there’s a conflict.  Either the test follows the existing design and
only tests a single configuration, as iotests are expected to do, or we
have the question of how to deal with the fact that users will run the
test suite in multiple configurations, but one run of this test would
already cover them all.

I’m not sternly against cycling through the possible combinations right
here in the test, but I want to lay out the problems with that approach.

We already have that for the format (e.g. 178.out.{qcow2,raw}).  If you
decide to do that, it shouldn’t be too difficult to implement
(testrunner.py’s `TestRunner.find_reference()`).  Alternatively, it’s
also possible to basically ignore the reference output and verify the
expected output right in the test code.

In this kind of test checking the output is the right thing since this is
the actual result of the command.

I'll change to use the current format and cache mode - this should work fine
with file protocol, and will simplify the test a lot.

I'm not sure if this will work for NBD but it is less important and can be added
later. There is nothing related to NBD in the code.
