Summary: virtio-blk io errors / data corruption on raw drives > 1 TB

Initial Comment:
When attaching raw drives > 1 TB, buffer io errors will most likely occur, 
filesystems get corrupted. Processes (like mkfs.ext4) might freeze completely 
when filesystems are created on the guest.

Here's a typical log excerpt when using mkfs.ext4 on a 1.5 TB drive on a Ubuntu 
9.10 guest:

In my case I was switching to virtio at one point, but the behaviour didn't 
show until there was > 1 TB data on the filesystem. very dangerous.

Tested using 2 different SATA controllers, 1.5 TB lvm/mdraid, single 1.5 TB 
drive and 2 TB lvm/mdraid.
The behaviour does not occur with if=scsi or if=ide.

Christoph Hellwig's virtio-large-iovecs patch which fixed #2941282
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2941282&group_id=180599&atid=893831)
also improves things here.
Buffer IO errors seem to be gone, but corruption on large disks remains.
mkfs.ext4 on 1.5 TB disk was ok, but soon after starting rsync:

Message:
I too am experiencing this bug.  My disks are not very large, they are
mostly less than 10G, with a few as large as 150G.  I see the error occur
most during periods of heavy IO like system updates causing the filesystem
to remount read only with some data loss.

I would be very surprised if ext4 would still have these kind of severe
bugs, corrupting fs when it's full, after having stable release since 1,5
years.

Just tried to repeat the test with ext3, failing already at mkfs.ext3:

Message:
I too see similar behavour here when switching from 0.11 to 0.12.  In my
case the filesystems are not large (a few dozens of gigs, 128Gb max).  I
have error_behavour=remount-ro on all my ext* filesystems, and quite
regularly I see one or another filesystem gets remounted read-only, which
accomplished with quite some noize in dmesg like the above --
 Buffer I/O error on device vdX, logical block ZZZZ
and also "lost write on vdX".  I don't see the traces as above - these
looks like bugs in ext4 code somewhere.
Other than that (I/O error on increasingly-numbered blocks) there's
nothing interesting anywhere, that's why I didn't report it so far: the
errors are quite random and difficult to hit, but I can't gather any useful
info - neither on host nor on guest nor from kvm itself.  Remounting the
filesystem after noticing it is again read-only and it works again, till
another incindent.

Message:
in 0.12.3 behaviour has been significantly improved, but seems it's not
fixed.

Tested with a 1.5 TB virtio raw drive, I created ext4 fs directly on the
drive and rsynced data from a larger source to fill up the drive
completely.
Until the drive became full, everything looked good, no more buffer i/o
errors or lost page writes as they were happening in 0.12.2.

I was expecting rsync to abort at one point when disk became full, but it
surprisingly continued quite a while, although df -h was already indicating
there was no space left. 

Following messages began to show up in kernel.log.

When rsync finally aborted (reporting no space left on device), the
filesystem was corrupt and had to be repaired with fsck.ext4, which
detected multiply-claimed blocks especially within most recently written
files.
