Hi, i'm hoping someone can help me figure out this issue. I've done a fresh install of proxmox 3.4.1... Created a KVM guess which was created fine but when I try to start the kvm i get this error below. Note: able to create vz containers ok.

kvm: -drive file=/var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-sata0,format=qcow2,aio=native,cache=none,detect-zeroes=on: file system may not support O_DIRECT
