How can I disable libvirtd from attempting to suspend VMs on poweroff / reboot?

There is a separate init script which provides this feature. All you need to do is to disable it: chkconfig libvirt-guests off Alternatively, you may configure it to shutdown your VMs instead of suspending them. See /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests.

It is slowly filling up our /var/ filesystem with save points at /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/<vm name>.save

IIRC, that libvirt version had a bug that save files were not removed after successful resume, which I believe is fixed in current release. Jirka
