If you currently own a Red Hat Enterprise subscription you now have access to their paravirtualized drivers for Windows. Red Hat had temporarily released these drivers a few months ago before they mysteriously disappeared after only a few days. I suspect it was released the first time either pre-maturely or maybe the bugs were so serious that they had to “recall” it. You can read the original post: Preview of Red Hat Windows Virtio Drivers.

I have to give credit to one of the readers of this blog named Kenni Lund who brought this news to my attention. He actually noticed the availability of the package via the following errata from Red Hat: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2009-1624.html . As mentioned in the first post here, these packages are only available to you if you own a Red Hat Enterprise subscription. I haven’t actually tried the block drivers so can’t report on it. If you’ve tried them you’re welcomed to comment on how they perform. In any case I’ll give them a try and write a post on it.
