Hello everybody,
after few weeks of trials I'm in final stage of rolling a new server into our production environment and just came across this problem. Basically I'm getting 'bad block' messages in Windows 2003 when trying to format a new disk in Windows VM. 

I'm running CentOS 5.4 with xen3.4.2 installed, tried both with GPLPV and standard qemu drivers, windows x32 and x64 - same result, as soon as newly added virt disk size goes beyond 1024G (or above 262144 extents) I get bad block error in windows system log and formatting fails. The server is DellR710 machine with 146G raid1 SAS (for VMs systems) and 1.8T RAID5(6x500G Near-line SAS disks with 1 hotswap) for backups. Needless to say formatting in Linux of the whole 1.8T vd goes fine (with full e2fsck check then).

Any ideas? Is my only option to split it in 2 virt disks?

Thank you,
Alex
