As reported by Max, the Windows 2008 R2 chkdsk utility expects VERIFY_16 to be supported, and does not handle the returned CHECK_CONDITION properly, resulting in an infinite loop. The kernel will log huge amounts of this error: kernel: TARGET_CORE[iSCSI]: Unsupported SCSI Opcode 0x8f, sending CHECK_CONDITION.
