Since I have multiple filesystems, that's hard for me to test apples-apples, but I think I'm getting pretty close to raw I/O speed on my test hardware with archive, so adding a resizefs and copy tree and another mkfs is probably not going to speed things up. :) But speed isn't the only thing. Archive is generally more flexible than image, especially if I extend it to do multiple archives -- base OS in one archive (can be updated for security updates, say) and configuration in another archive (rarely needs to be touched), and then the pair of archives deployed to grid machines with multiple filesystems... _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
