Created attachment 330104 [details] patch to flush data to disk Description of problem: The SCSI backend does not make sure data is actually written to disk before scsi_write_data() returns. Calling bdrv_flush will fix this, in the exact same way we fixed it in the IDE emulation around RHEL 5 GA time.
