[PVE-User] WG: disk error messages on kvm guest

[Holger Ernst]

Hi Meike,

Any special reason to use scsi for the virtual disk? Maybe there is some mismatch between scsi driver in SUSE and the virtual implementation in the host (this is very wild guessing, I know).
Have you tried to use the IDE interface? You can change that any time (stop the VM in advance ;-)).

Regards, Holger

The error messages are from the virtual disk in the guest. No error
messages seen in the syslog from the host  (proxmox) system with the
real hardware disk.

Thanks Meike
