Still use emualted disk and network and xen pv network is unable to
start for code 10 error (from windows devices manager). (see also

That means you have not rebooted to allow the emulated device to
be
unplugged. Other versions of Windows will prompt for the reboot but
Microsoft broke the class installer in Windows 10 so it won't.
      Paul
Thanks for reply.
I already did a windows reboot after pv install but after doing another
seem ok.
Remain the dubt with ahci, I saw both emulated and pv ok in windows
devices manager and I not understand if a changes is needed for ahci
qemu side as Stefano Stabellini told.
Can you take a look to this new qemu log please? Is ok or with ahci disk
is not pv correctly?

The log shows:

xen_platform_log xen platform: XENVBD|__ReadDiskInfo:Target[0] :

xen_platform_log xen platform: XENVBD|__ReadDiskInfo:Target[0] : 50

That last line says you have a functioning PV disk.

     Paul
Thanks for your reply.
So with ahci even if Windows sees also emulated one in device manager
should properly use the pv?

XENFILT is installed as a filter on the IDE channel class in Windows so that it
can make sure that, in the event of an emulated disk being present in the
VM, the PV device does not come online... otherwise you've got two disks in
the VM referencing the same storage and you'll get data corruption pretty
quickly.
So, if you use AHCI, I'm not convinced that:

a) The emulated device unplug code in QEMU will actually unplug the
emulated AHCI disk
b) XENFILT will spot the problem

Hence, if you see any corruption of the VMs disks I would not be surprised.

    Paul
I had disk corruption but with qcow2 disk overlay and also using ide
instead as I reported time ago. Without qcow2 I not saw disk corruption
for sure if I remember good. I saw domUs windows unbootable in other
cases about updated/remove the new pv but also with ide.
Is there a way to check if corruption happen in raw disks even if domU
seems still working correctly?

Go look at the number of disks the VM thinks it has. If you only gave it one 
but it thinks it has two then corruption is imminent.

   Paul

See 2 but one (the emulated as offline), see the screenshot attached.
In this case can risk corruption or not?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.




@ Stefano Stabellini: can you add unplug support for ahci in qemu to be
sure it can't do unexpected things please?


If you need more information and/or test tell me and I'l post them.
Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
