Guest shutdown is ALWAYS a cooperative action. It sounds like your guest defaults to an interactive shutdown when an ACPI shutdown request is received. You can install qemu-guest-agent in your guest and send shutdown via the agent instead of via ACPI - that may be a bit more responsive at doing an immediate shutdown. But beyond that, no, there is no way to guarantee a graceful guest shutdown without guest cooperation. If you must stop a guest, and shutdown is taking too long because the guest is not cooperating, then use the 'virsh destroy' command. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
