Comment 37 for bug 574665

Thanks for this patch! I can confirm its functionality. I'm using a (host) -> hardware raid 1 -> lvm -> drbd [2TB] -> (virtual machine) setup that fails (corrupts filesystems) repeatedly using the stock qemu-kvm implementation in lucid. After exchanging the the original qemu packages with the patched ones everything works fine even after heavy read/write tests lasting several days now.
