Do you have any information about *how* the drive is corrupted; what part Win7 is unhappy with? I don't know how Proxmox configures it, but I assume you're storing the disk images as single files on the FS? I'm really not sure what the kernel client could even do here, since if you're not rebooting the host as well as the VM then it can't be losing any of the data it's given. :/ -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
