Really appreciate the suggestion! By "live migration", do you mean keeping the existing files and migrate them elsewhere with the vm?

Thanks

I mean making any given VM stop on host A and appear on host B; e.g. standard Qemu/KVM:

    virsh migrate --live GuestName DestinationURL

This is feasible when network storage is available and useful when a host needs to be drained for maintenance.

		It's also feasible without network storage, --copy-storage-all will migrate all disks too.

		I see. so right now smolvm can be stopped, and then "packed" (think of it as compressed), and restart on a different host. files in the disks are preserved, but memory snapshotting is still hard tbh
