[Bug 1266737] Re: error sda: WRITE SAME failed when installing package

 

Hello,

Verified this problem with 3.13.0-14-generic OS on a KVM guest running
on Power 8 and the issue is no more reproducible

I tried the mentioned scenarios like 
- apt-get install perl*  
- dio  test run from LTP

Both scenarios were successfull with out any problem or error message in
dmesg

More details:
