Thanks, applied both patches to the megasas friendly qemu-kvm.git tree.

Nothing fancy just yet. This is involving a normal NTFS filesystem
format on a small TCM/FILEIO LUN using scsi-generic and a userspace
FILEIO with scsi-disk.
This involves the XP guest waiting until the very last READ_10 once the
format has completed (eg: all WRITE and VERIFY CDBs complete with GOOD
status AFAICT) before announcing that mkfs.ntfs failed without any
helpful exception message (due to missing metadata of some sort I would
assume..?)
So perhaps dumping QEMU and TCM_Loop SCSI payloads to determine if any
correct blocks from megasas_handle_io() are actually making it out to
KVM host is going to be my next option. ;)
I might try with a newer version (and 64-bit) version of windows server
and see if that can produce some manner of more useful information for
us.
Best,
