Does anyone know how to do that? It's doable (not sure how), but kvm ought not to crash when resuming. If I run the same disk image using virt-manager I can suspend it quickly through the virt-manager interface (or virsh), and suspend/resume works. However, I don't know how to replicate the networking I get from kvm -no-acpi -smp 1 -m 1000 -redir tcp:3389::3389 -usb -usbdevice tablet -boot c /mnt/usr_local/vm/xp-overlay.qcow2 which is my usual launch command. In particular, I don't know how to reproduce the -redir tcp:3389::3389 in that VM file, and the guest seems to think it's running on different hardware. If I could figure out how to get the equivalent of virsh's suspend command when invoking kvm from the command line, or how to get virtual-manager to run my existing VM as-is, I'd be all set. Knowing both would be best of all ;-) Any hints? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
