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.  _  _           _     ___         _  )\/,) ___  __  )L,   ))  __  __  )) __ _ _ ((`(( ((_( (|  ((\   ((__((_)((_)(( (('((\( _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users

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.
