And is it supposed to work at this time on F11 + fedora-virt-preview repo?
Because I get the window saying "operation in progress" but it seems
blocked.

In fact also a "virsh list" command at this point remains pending.....

The process seems to have only being written about 1400 bytes of the saved
file:
-rw------- 1 root root     1400 2009-09-21 17:46 save_vm_prova2

An fuser command on that file gives nothing.
An strace on virt-manager process gives:
[root at virtfedbis tmp]# strace -p 648
Process 648 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x2ff705c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL

The Vm is no more reachable and was doing almost nothing when the "save"
operation was started.
It seems nothing relevant in messages or virt-manager.log or vm log
prova2.log....

If it is supposed to work I'm going to open a bug...

Thanks,
Gianluca
