I run sheep in a single centos 6.4 node with 300G SSD

sheep -w size=300000,dir=/ssdcache/ /var/lib/sheepdog/
sheep –v
sheepdog daemon version 0.7.5

I use XML to create guest 

    <disk type="network">
      <driver name="qemu" type="raw" io="threads" cache="writeback"/>
      <source protocol="sheepdog" name="kvm117_os">
        <host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
      </source>
      <target dev="hda" bus="ide"/>
  </disk>

I use qemu-img convert to import my OS to sheep dog disk.
But I found when I import windows 2003, the boot up will be hold by a black screen in VNC.

I must reboot sheepdog to boot up windows 2003 normally.

After sometime the windows 2003 will be hold and cannot be booted up, need reboot sheepdog again

I guest maybe the bus type is wrong. So I change bus type to virtio and install the driver in 2003. the same issue will occur.

Then I try to import centos 5.9 to the sheep dog disk. The centos 5.9 can boot up normally there is no need to reboot sheepdog.
