I am trying to save a process to the disk using CRIU, I am able to save and restore it on the same machine, but when I try to restore the saved image on different machine it gives me an error.

I executed the yes command found its pid using ps aux|grep yes

then to save I did:

sudo ./criu dump -t 7483 -D ~/dumped --shell-job

then I copied the "dumped" directory to another machine and tried to restore it using following command:

sudo ./criu restore -t 7483 -D ../dumped/ --shell-job

but got the following error 

(00.058476) Error (cr-restore.c:956): 7483 killed by signal 7
(00.058526) Error (cr-restore.c:1279): Restoring FAILED.

How do I resolve this? I want to migrate a process to a different machine having exactly similar configuration.

Configuration:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit desktop

  • linux 3.11.0.19-generic

  • RAM: 4 GB

  • Output of lscpu

Are you able to restore this process on the machine where you dumped it?

Could you run restore with additional keys to get verbose log? Like so:

sudo ./criu restore -D ../dumped/ --shell-job -v4 -o restore.log

And provide somehow this log?

Btw, -t option at restore is obsoleted. But it doesn't matter in this case, though. =)
