Hi folks,

Sorry to say, but it seems that vol-clone is a little bit
slow. To clone a 32G logical volume it took about 40 minutes.
If I use dd instead

dd if=/dev/storage/vol1.lv bs=64k of=/dev/storage/vol2.lv

it takes just 10 minutes, and the system load is lower,
too.


libvirt is 0.8.2-1, as found in Debian Testing.


Regards

Harri
