RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The viostor driver stores the wrong value in the driver extension for the last LBA. Consequence: Windows is unable to format 4k-sector virtual disk. Fix: The viostor driver correctly populates the last LBA driver extension field. Result: Windows can work with 4k-sector virtual disks.

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.
