Guest is in unuseable state after attempt to savestate to full harddisk

Reported by: Ivo Smits Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 4.0.2
Keywords: save savestate full harddisk Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

When attempting to save the VM state, VirtualBox discovered that the harddisk had insufficient free space. After freeing some space, the VM still appears to be in the 'Saving' state, according to VirtualBox' title bar. The Manager indicates that the VM is Paused - but there seems to be no way to unpause it. The only way out seems to kill the VM process, as it does no longer respond to the menu Close item, or closing the window.

This is the output of various VBoxManage commands:

ivo@IvoTop:~$ VBoxManage list runningvms
"IvoLap" {16570d8a-35d6-4cf5-a5a2-08f3ce5ad944}
ivo@IvoTop:~$ VBoxManage showvminfo IvoLap
...
State:           paused (since 2011-02-02T01:33:28.529000000)
...
ivo@IvoTop:~$ VBoxManage controlvm IvoLap savestate
VBoxManage: error: Already paused
