** Description changed:

  While suspending a guest, if the suspend image fails to be saved because
  of insufficient space, the guest is left in irrecoverable  state and
  must therefore be powered down the hardway.
+ 
+ Note though, that I don't expect it to be able to suspend when the FS
+ doesn't have enough capacity to store the image. I do expect it not to
+ become irrecoverable (e.g, you can't go back into the guest and ask it
+ to shutdown cleanly or perhaps just leave the guest running while you
+ are able to free some space from the filesystem.)
