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 ...
