Confirmed that doing
kvm -drive file=lucid.img,cache=unsafe,index=0,boot=on -m 512M -smp 2 -vnc :1 -monitor stdio and doing 'savevm savevm5' takes about 2 seconds. So, for fast savevm, 'cache=unsafe' is the workaround. Shoudl this bug then be marked invalid, or 'wontfix'? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741887 Title: virsh snapshot-create too slow (kvm, qcow2, savevm) -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
