Bug 376333 – app-emulation/libvirt-0.9.1 to -0.9.3-r1: managedsave/save won't restore/start at saved state

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nsebrecht 2011-07-25 11:03:23 UTC]

Any guests saved using both managedsave and save commands from virsh won't restore at saved state. A new full boot sequence operates.

- Tested against libvirt v0.9.1, v0.9.2, v0.9.3-r1.
- Confirmed on three different hosts Gentoo amd64 systems.
- Tested with gentoo and ubuntu guests.
- Nothing relevant in /var/log/libvirt/libvirt.log nor /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<dom>.log

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virsh managedsave dom
2. virsh start dom


Actual Results:  
The new boot sequence is confirmed by :
- VNC console checks
- previous screen sessions disappeared
- uptime
