This only seems to happen when the save file is larger than 7.5 GB. If I do not log in to the guest in the login screen and save state and the save file is less than that, VM will restore fine.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create windows 10 VM
- Give it at least 12 GB ram
- Start the VM, open a lot of applications to fill up the ram above 10 GB.
- Save state using virt-manager(or
virsh managedsave vmnamehere - Run
sudo ls /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/ -lahto verify that the save file is larger than 7.5 GB - Start the VM using virt-manager (or
virsh start vmnamehere
VM should resume, but instead proceeds to boot from the begining without any error/logs.
Update 1: Does not seem to be related to the 7.5 GB save file. This only happens to ONLY ONE windows guest. This guest was migrated from Virtualbox (VHD) to qcow2.
