[Bug 574665] [NEW] kvm + virtio disk corrupts large volumes (>1TB).

[Curt Sampson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

See this bug:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2933400&group_id=180599&atid=893831

I have confirmed that this happens with 10.04 host and guest. Giving kvm
a logical virtio volume of 1024 GB works; a logical volume of 1048 GB
fails to install and produces disk errors on the guest (but not on the
host). Changing the kvm configuration to use an IDE volume instead works
fine even with a 1.7TB volume.

Note that, because this can introduce disk corruption, this *really*
needs to go into the release notes.
