Description Jaromír Cápík 2012-07-03 09:42:50 UTC
Hello.

I sometimes experience the following issue (probably triggered by seldom kernel hangs/crashes due to a high system uptime).

Some of the virtual machines get into a saved state and can't be restored or started again. After several painful restorations in form of machine cloning/deletion I found out, that there's a zero sized save file in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save that just needs to be deleted and that's all. I believe there should be a menu entry for discarding the machine saved state (especially when it's corrupted and can't be restored).
Please, add a new menu entry triggering a confirmation dialog for the save file deletion.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jaromir.

If a guest fails to start with a saved image, we should provide a follow up dialog like 'Guest could not be started from the saved state. Would you like to discard the saved state and start fresh?' or similar.
