The vms don't respond to shutdown, so I have to stop the vm. The "io-error" 
status also often persists across vm stop/starts.

I am currently experiencing exactly the same issue. (But have Win 2008 R2 
installed)

Did you manage to find a fix for this? Or figure out what is causing this?

On the VM Monitor Tab in Proxmox if I run a "info status" the response is:
  VM status: paused (io-error)

Even if I run QM resume <id>, it still stays paused.

I can also not shutdown or reset, I have to stop the vm and start it again.
