Hi everyone, 

Not sure if this is the right ML to post to, i need some help figuring out scsi passthrough on qemu.

I have qemu-system-x86_64,  version 2.0.0 (Debian 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.7) on Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS.

I want to enable a guest vm (also ubuntu) to use one of the block devices from the host.

I found some info here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QemuDiskHotplug and here https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/6.1/linux/productguides/html/sfhas_virtualization/ch03s02s02s05.htm

I have a controller defined as virtio-scsi, and disk defined as block/lun/qemu/raw/scsi (/dev/sdc).

I can boot the vm and install it but some commands fail (smartctl, hdparm)

Any ideas how to properly enable  passthrough similar to RDMP on vmware?

Thanks,
