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.

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 don't know what happened but I'm pretty sure you can recover
the domains removing the file stored by the pause command:

# virsh managedsave-remove domainname
# virs start domainname

As for the underlying problem , it happened to me once and I thought
it was caused by a full partition. 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.
