Save Machine State takes 30 Minutes

[Wayne Sallee]

Saving Machine State takes 30 minutes to complete.

Sometimes it works fine, other times it takes 30 minutes.

Items that might encourage this problem: 64 bit Guest on 32 bit Host (so far only affecting 64 bit guest) 2 gigabytes of guest memory instead of 1 (host has 16 gigabytes) using the guest system a lot before saving state (not always required)

I reduced the memory of one of my 64bit Guest to 1 gigabyte to see if this makes a difference.

The minimum required information to be able to have a look at your problem is a VBox.log file. Regarding the formatting: Have a look at here. I guess you are looking for [[BR]]
