The live migration algorithm detailed here:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Migration, seems to me to indicate that
only a brief pause should be expected. Indeed, the summary says,
"Almost unnoticeable guest down time".

But to the contrary. I tested live-migrate (without block migrate)
last night using a guest with 8GB RAM (almost fully committed) and
lost any access/contact with the guest for over 4 minutes - it was
paused for the duration. Not something I'd want to do to a user's
web-server on a regular basis...

That would be wonderful. Thanks!
