Highly

Comment 1 Daniel Berrange 2009-05-11 05:57:35 EDT

This isn't a bug. virsh create  starts a transient guest which, by definition, disappear after they stop running. If you want it to still be visible after it shuts down, then use 'virsh define' followed by 'virsh start' to create  a persistent guest.

Comment 2 Matthew Farrellee 2009-05-11 08:38:06 EDT

The VM images here should never stop running without intervention. The act of saving one is stopping the other.

Were you not able to reproduce?

Comment 3 Daniel Berrange 2009-05-11 08:48:24 EDT

Oh, the bug subject is misleading.
