Fail to initialize the the data disk specified x-data-plane=on via 'Device Manager' in win7 64bit guest using the RPMs v3, with the prompt error 'The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error', i will atttach the log of screenshot later.

BTW, if specified x-data-plane=off to the data disk, it can be initialized and formatted successfully.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.345.el6.test.x86_64
guest info:
win7 64bit
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-49 

qemu-kvm command line:
e.g:...-drive file=/home/windows_7_ultimate_sp1_x64.raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,scsi=off,x-data-plane=off,drive=drive-virtio-disk,id=virtio-disk,bootindex=1...-drive file=/dev/vg-qz/sluo-data-disk,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,scsi=off,x-data-plane=on,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk...
