Hi Artyom, Thanks for your pointer! I have tried the -mem-path option, and right now looking into the code to see if the content of the file will be used during the guest Linux running next time. Will let you know the result.
Stefan's post is definitely helpful, thanks for letting me know. Could you please let me know if you have more QEmu memory management documentation about internals? I have googled around, but more likely to hear from your advice. Thanks.

Thanks in advance! Is the option "-mem-path=/path/to/mem-file" what you are looking for?
