[Xen-devel] save / restore

Hello all,
i've upgraded a testing version done after  2.0.4  (around the 14 february).
since then i'm able to save and restore domain with more than one vbd exported
to (prior test failed when a domain had more than one vbd)
But it seems to have still some limitations.
1) Domains with more than a few vbd failed to save:
one of my domain have 7vbd:
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_root) (dev hdb1) (mode w)))
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_var) (dev hdb2) (mode w)))
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_usr) (dev hdb3) (mode w)))
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_home) (dev hdb4) (mode w)))
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_spool_mail) (dev hdb5) (mode w)))
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_save) (dev hdb6) (mode w)))
    (device (vbd (uname phy:zeus_lvs/athena_swap) (dev hdc1) (mode w)))
and saving failed :
zeus:/etc/xen# xm save athena /usr/save
Error: Error: [Failure instance: Traceback: xen.xend.XendError.XendError, save
failed
here is the extract of the xfrd log:

xend.log has thoses informations:

2) A simple domain with 2 vif will failed to save (even if there is only one
vbd)

3)A simple domain (1vif+2vbd) failed to save when you export a device to it 
This is the case of my firewall which has the extrernal network card hided from
Dom0 and showed in a DomU.
When i issue the xm save command the action is pretty long ~ 1 minute and after
i get this message:
zeus:/var/log# xm save cerbere /usr/cerbere
Error: Error: [Failure instance: Traceback: twisted.internet.defer.TimeoutError,

xfrd contains this message:

After this the domain does not exist anymore and the save file is empty.

i'm hoping for your help ...
