Re: [libvirt-users] shutdown a windows guest take ages..... (20- 34 minutes here)
Hello Peter,
i will give that a try.
But why arent the updates written after first shutdown?
on a normal pc the updates are down after one reboot.
i will do some start - shutdowns like u suggested and message you.

just a quick idea. Wasn't the machine updating? Windows 7 is pulling
in quite a lot updates during the first few boots and spends ages
installing them. This would explain the delays and constant disk
writes.
Please watch the shutdown sequence of the guest to see what it's
doing at that time. After say 10 start-shutdown cycles the machine
should be up to date and shut down quickly.
