Windows VM pauses when vm is shutdown

[Subtletree]

Hi!

 

When I shutdown my windows 10 vm (either from the unraid gui or from the vm) it ends up in a paused state, instead of being stopped. A restart also ends up in a paused state.

 

If I try resume the vm I get:

internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'cont': Resetting the Virtual Machine is required

So I force-stop and then start the vm and everything works fine.

 

It's not really a big issue for me except:

• If I shutdown the vm it doesn't release the ram it was assigned. It is released after a force-stop.
• Windows did an update the other day and the vm ended up paused. When I rebooted it it said "failed update, rolling back" but something went wrong because windows explorer would constantly crash after that so i reset the vm.
• I have to force-stop and start instead of just clicking start.

 

One potential clue is whenever I start the vm the logs show this error:

qemu-system-x86_64: vfio_err_notifier_handler(0000:0a:00.1) Unrecoverable error detected. Please collect any data possible and then kill the guest

The vm runs fine despite the above error.

 

Any ideas?

 

Diagnostics are attached and thanks for looking!

@Subtletree One of the passed through devices causing this error.

One of the devices you pass through causing this PCI-bridge to throw an error. It might be the following or one of the 2 USB controllers you're passing through

07:00.0 Non-Essential Instrumentation [1300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Starship/Matisse Reserved SPP [1022:1485]

Remove them one by one and test if it helps.

@Subtletree

Was this ever solved? Having the same issue unfortunately

 

Br,

[Subtletree]

@SimpleDino I feel bad I never came back with an update!

 

If i remember correctly, @bastl was right and the "AER: Uncorrected (Non-Fatal) error received" was the source of the problem (Thanks @bastl!) . I think I did something like the advice here and silenced the error. Whatever I was reading at the time suggested it's not really an issue and silencing the error was all good.

 

I'm not at home now so will check my settings when I get home.
