I had a VM running over night with:

and I haven't seen the issue. :(

FWIW, I'm using the ahci qemu driver:

-drive file=disk-image.raw,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw \
-device ahci,id=bus0 \
-device ide-drive,bus=bus0.0,drive=drive0

Does this match your qemu instance?

Well, not really. I just pass 2 raw disks as "-hda sda.img -hdb sda.img" (it is a playground VM for me with RAID10, LVM and LUKS inside, but I hope this doesn't matter). Does passing "-hda" differ from your approach?
