Hi,
First of all, I want to ask: is there a libvirt user mailing list? I
generally see people exchanging ideas on development of libvirt in this
mailing list. So feel free to direct me to the right place if this is
not the main mailing list for these kind of questions.
I am having problems with save and restore commands in virsh when I try
to save and restore KVM virtual machines. After I initiate restore
operation, instead of starting where I left during the save operation,
it is restarting the VM.
Therefore, I need to ask what should I check for these operations to
execute correctly? What kind of vm disk types: qcow or vmdk? Which
versions of qemu, kvm and libvirt combinations? currently I have libvirt
0.6.5, qemu 0.9.1, kvm-82 on fedora core 8 with kernel version of 2.6.26.8.
Thanks,
Erkan Unal

It would be very helpful if you included your domain description -- not
all hardware supported by KVM is save/restore compatible. If you're
using SCSI disk drives, for instance, that would explain the breakage;
virtio has similar problems for many versions of kvm (not sure about the
one you're running).
