I haven't looked into this but it's worth mentioning that virtio-blk SCSI commands are discouraged and probably disabled in modern Linux distros (for example, I just checked that the Fedora 29 kernel disables it in the guest driver). If anyone is planning to make use of this legacy feature, it would be worth checking carefully that the required set of guest drivers and hypervisors actually implement this feature. Stefan
