I only do improper shutdowns, on all DSM VMs (Arc). I simply restart the host. On one machine with NVME passthrough it made incredible issue of NVME getting corrupted each time, following several days of reinstallation. To atop this, i've had to make sure initrd allocates the drive to vfio. So i can recommned putting disk drive codes fetched from lspci -n to /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf.

options vfio-pci ids=XXXX:YYYY,XXXX:YYYY

Either OS or possibly even BIOS (proactive installation of vendor software) could fiddle with the drive.

I'd also welcome any news on Arc ACPI.

Just follow up on VM reboots, someone might find it useful.

VFIO setting stopped the corruption 100% as it was proven by many tests.

On the KVM host, the reboot can include waiting for VMs by enabling the service

systemctl enable libvirt-guests.service

I can't comprehend why this is not on by default. Even the config needs to be created:

  mcedit /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests
	ON_BOOT=ignore  #eventually controlled by libvirtd or cockpit-machines
	ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown  #we don't need to stupid VM snapshots
	SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=300  #timeout, usually reboot will now take like 3minutes, instead of premature 30sec
	PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN=2   #enable parallel shutdown of machines, of course

So now I have safe reboots, as tested again. All works except "ice" drivers on Epyc baseline. Love the loader.
