Description Vadim Rozenfeld 2017-01-08 10:49:37 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1410964 +++

Description of problem: 
4K virtual drives broken on Windows with virtio-win-0.1-104 and greater. Versions previous to virtio-winl-0.1-104 work fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4K virtual drives fail to format on Windows with virtio-winl-0.1-104 and greater. Versions previous to virtio-winl-0.1-104 work fine.


How reproducible:
Configure a 4K sector virtio virtual data disk and attempt to format it in any windows guest that supports 4K sector data disks i.e W2K12R2, Windows 10.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify virtual disk as 4K logical and physical sector size in XML
2. Start windows guest
3. Attempt to use the 4K sector disk by first formatting it.

Actual results:
Format fails on 4K sector drives.

Expected results:
Format 4K drives.

Additional info:
The problem is viostor stores the wrong value in the driver extension for the last lba. The driver returns the correct value for last LBA in the read capacity request but inappropriately uses this same value in I/O request bounds checking. As a result, windows fails in formating 4K sector drives.

Comment 2 Vadim Rozenfeld 2017-01-16 00:44:29 UTC

Please try drivers from build130 http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/virtio-win-prewhql/0.1/130/win/virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.zip

Comment 3 lijin 2017-01-16 08:26:14 UTC

QE can reproduce this issue according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410964#c3

Verify this issue with virtio-win-prewhql-130 on win2012R2,disks can be formatted correctly with 4k logical_block_size.

So this issue has been fixed,change status to verified.
