Hi Everyone

I am having an issue where in my Windows 2008 Server R2 Guests, the Virtio hard disks are shown as removable storage.

At first I thought this might just be a driver issue, but after updating to the latest Virtio windows viostor driver, I still have the same issue.

I have checked a number of my proxmox servers and discovered this has been the case for a while, so proxmox version does not seem to be a factor. I have this issue on v2.3, 3.2, 3.4, 4.0.
The windows server is always the same, 2008 R2 SP1.

This is an issue as I need to create an Exchange 2010 DAG and it errors saying the log files cannot be stored on a removable disk.

Does anyone have any experience with this and ultimately a suggestion as to how to resolve this.

Thanks
Matthew
 
This is a windows problem and not a diver Problem.

But try scsi as interface this should not have this behavior.
