So can we please get the detailed setup where this happens, that is:

filesystem used in the guest
any volume manager / software raid used in the guest
kernel version in the guest
image format used
qemu command line including caching mode, using ide/scsi/virtio, etc
qemu/kvm version
filesystem used in the host
any volume manager / software raid used in the host
kernel version in the host
