Wolf,

  We're able to get all of the meta data just fine.  However it seems that
the actual content of the read/write seems to be wrong some of the time.
The first 2 sectors seem to always be correct, however on some writes, the
data that we traced does not match up with the data we are actually seeing
in the .img file for the guest on disk.
