I've had no luck using the new virtio scsi support with windows guests...
The driver loads, and shows up as "RedHat Virtio SCSI Pass-through driver", but various problems occur when i try to use it.

If i use LVM backed storage, the disk shows up inside the guest with the full capacity of my raw drive, not the size of the individual volume.
If i use sheepdog storage the disk shows up with the correct capacity but cannot format, same if i use file backed storage with qcow2 format.

The virtio block driver works fine with any backend storage...
