[Qemu-devel] [Bug 524447] Re: virsh save is very slow

[BenLake]

@Serge @Chris - So it sounds like this _could_ make it into Lucid?
Anyone I can bribe to make that happen?

As an aside, I have been running LTS versions for 8 years and I must say
it seems we need a different priority scale for LTS. This bug renders
the use of kvm in 10.04 very painful and the plan would be to let that
exist for 5 years? Feels like a lot of key improvements are overlooked
because they don't make your machine explode, but from a sys admins
perspective, it feels like the risks of running the latest versions so
bug fixes trickle in outweighs the missing bits in an unmaintained LTS
:/

This issue + this one
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/555981) makes
for a sad day.

Bug description:
  ==================================
  SRU Justification:
  1. impact: 'qemu save' is slow
  2. how addressed: a patch upstream fixes the case when a file does not 
announce when it is ready.
  3. patch: see the patch in linked bzr trees
  4. TEST CASE: see comment #4 for a specific recipe
  5. regression potential:  this patch only touches the vm save path.
  ==================================

  As reported here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-
  list/2009-December/msg00203.html

  "virsh save" is very slow - it writes the image at around 1MB/sec on
  my test system.

  (I think I saw a bug report for this issue on Fedora's bugzilla, but I
  can't find it now...)

  Confirmed under Karmic.
