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.

error message at installation windows setup page

Description of problem:

Run unattended_install win2016 to blockdev format vm failed, with automation test.

When Windows setup phase, hit error message "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space, This hard disk space is formatted with an unsupported version of the NTFS file system...", detail please refer to attachment.
And the autounattend.xml also upload as attachment.

system disk commands as follows:
===============================================================================
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio_scsi_pci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 \
    -blockdev node-name=file_image1,driver=file,filename=/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/win2016-64-virtio-scsi.qcow2,cache.direct=on,cache.no-flush=off \
    -blockdev node-name=drive_image1,driver=qcow2,cache.direct=on,cache.no-flush=off,file=file_image1 \
    -device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,write-cache=on \
================================================================================

And if the scsi-hd command with serial=TARGET_DISK0(-device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,write-cache=on,serial=TARGET_DISK0), cannot reproduced this issue.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.18.0-116.el8.x86_64
qemu-kvm-4.0.0-4.module+el8.1.0+3356+cda7f1ee.x86_64

virtio-win-prewhql-172

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
This issue is hit with automation testing, so here reproduce steps need use  /home/kvm_autotest_root/images/win2016-64/autounattend.iso file that generated by automation.
1. Boot a guest up with follows commands:

    -blockdev node-name=drive_cd1,driver=raw,read-only=on,cache.direct=on,cache.no-flush=off,file=file_cd1 \
    -device ide-cd,id=cd1,drive=drive_cd1,write-cache=on,bus=ide.0,unit=0 \

    -blockdev node-name=drive_winutils,driver=raw,read-only=on,cache.direct=on,cache.no-flush=off,file=file_winutils \
    -device ide-cd,id=winutils,drive=drive_winutils,write-cache=on,bus=ide.0,unit=1 \
    -blockdev node-name=file_unattended,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/win2016-64/autounattend.iso,cache.direct=on,cache.no-flush=off \

    -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew  \
    -boot order=cdn,once=d,menu=off,strict=off \
    -enable-kvm
2. The guest will start install os automatically due to attach autounattend.iso, check the guest os install status.  --> message "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space, This hard disk space is formatted with an unsupported version of the NTFS file system..."
3.

Actual results:
Error
