[PVE-User] qmp command 'guest-fsfreeze-freeze' failed - got timeout

[Lindsay Mathieson]

Getting this error for a number of windows 7x64 VM's. And it works just 
fine on another bunch of windows 7x64 VM's :)

I've ensured that the latest stable virtio serial drivers are installed 
(1.02 ISO), the qa-guest service is installed and running. Converted the 
VM disk from VIRTIO to SCSI/Virtio.


Couple of things I've noticed:

- shutdown command from proxmox is usually ignored, which I think 
indicates an issue with communicating via the qemu serial driver.

- the VM below (9018) has *two* "VirtIO-Serial Driver" devices listed 
under system devices, which doesn't seem normal. I don't know how to 
remove the 2nd one though.
