Title:
Blue screen when disk uses cache='writeback'
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am running Windows 2008R2 as KVM guest on Ubuntu 12.04 hypervisor. Disk
controller and network card are virtio devices with drivers from
https://launchpad.net/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/+download
(virtio-win-drivers-20120712-1.iso).
Everything worked fine until I changed disk controller cache from the default
(writethrough) to writeback. This introduced occasional blue screens. I noticed
that they are linked to high disk IO. For example restoring over 1GB of backup
files will results in a blue screen on around 4 out of 5 attempts. Also Windows
update crashes the system sometimes. When idle the system will run fine for
hours or sometimes even days.
After removing cache='writeback' from the config everything came back to
normal.
