Are you sure it was the migration and not the raw/qcow2 error which
caused the disk corruption?

I just had two Windows Servers with image corruption after upgrading
from 5.5 to 5.6 and booting the first time with the raw setting,
before changing it to qcow2 :-/

These two images were both on the same host, which is plain CentOS 5
*BUT* with a 2.6.37 kernel (and therefore 2.6.37 KVM module) from
elrepo...

It could be my special case of running with a vanilla KVM-module +
CentOS KVM userspace which allows the corruption to happen, but if
other people are seeing disk corruption with the regular
kernel/kmod-kvm, then this "known issue" should probably have a big
fat red warning in the release notes..

Best regards
Kenni
