UTM handles VM on external volume poorly if volume is unplugged

Describe the issue
UTM flooded the host so rapidly with alerts to the point that I was unable even to force quit UTM as a result of accidentally disconnecting the external volume where the VM is located. I had to forcibly restart the entire host in order to use the system.

Naturally, I don't expect this to go well when the VM disk suddenly ceases to exist during operation, but I would appreciate if it was possible to provide the user an opportunity to reconnect the external volume if at all possible, or even automatically kill the affected VM if not.

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.6.4 (107)
  • macOS Version: 15.7
  • Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M3 Pro
