I set up Alpine Linux as a libvirt-based KVM hypervisor last week.
Everything was working beautifully on Friday. I left two Windows VMs up and
running and two 'Saved' on Friday afternoon. When I go in this morning
the
two running ones were 'Paused' and I can't unpause them with
virt-manager
or with virsh. The other two saved ones I can start, but they are
immediately paused too. When I click to unpause in virt- manager nothing
happens. When I 'resume' in virsh I get 'Domain ... resumed' but
it's
immediately paused again. I looked in /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log and
qemu/<DOMAIN>.log and there doesn't seem to be anything happening. No
errors or anything.
As I say. Everything was working fine on Friday afternoon.
Does anyone know what I should try next? I'll attach my logs and the XML of
one of my machines.

I also noticed, just now, that if I send 'resume' several times in a row, libvirt now says 'Running', but there is no movement on the actual virtual machine. It still 'looks' paused' On Mon, Jan 8, 2018 at 11:03 AM, Mark Coolen <mark.coolen@gmail.com> wrote:> I set up Alpine Linux as a libvirt-based KVM hypervisor last week. > Everything was working beautifully on Friday.

Notice the saved state files won't go to the storage pool directory. In my system those files are kept on: /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/ Hope this helped a little bit.
It was a full partition. Thanks for this too, though. It might come in handy in the future. I'm kicking myself for not looking at my data partition's disk space ;-) I just realized that I'd just replied to Tony and not the list. Thanks Tony. I've shifted some files and everything's good now.
