Hi, I noticed that using libvirt to save running KVM domain (ie using virsh save ...) causes all other attempts to connect to libvirt and do something to hang till the save finishes. Seems like the issue has been already reported once: http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx/msg11431.html but without any resoulution. I've tried libvirt-0.7.4 + also applied bb8d57c68a5d9601058692813c7bdaf83c3d3aff (Fix threading problems in python bindings) which seemed to me might be related but still the problem persists. here's the debug log of trying to list domains while saving some domain: [root@vbox3 ~]# virsh list 16:30:31.718: debug : virInitialize:278 : register drivers 16:30:31.718: debug : virRegisterDriver:779 :
