The default is on. @end table ETEXI
Add a new '[,dump-guest-core=on|off]' option to the '-machine' option. When 'dump-guest-core=off' is specified, guest memory is omitted from the core dump. The default behavior continues to be to include guest memory when a core dump is triggered. In my testing, this brought the core dump size down from 384MB to 6MB on a 2GB guest. Is anything additional required to preserve this setting for migration or savevm? I don't believe so.
