Re: Win2003 disk corruption with kvm-1.0. and virtio

[Sylvain Bauza <sylvain.bauza@digimind.com>]

Hi Philipp,

Indeed. Qemu-kvm.1.0 is pretty old but this version is the stable one 
for Ubuntu Precise (12.04 LTS).
No backport is available for later versions, I need to install by hand.

Do you know if qemu-1.3 (with KVM support) is fully compatible with 
qemu-kvm.1.0 ?
As I'm relying on Openstack Nova for upper hypervisor layer, it needs to 
be 100% matching.

Thanks,
-Sylvain
