A remote machine w/o a console would scare me in any case. :) Is the image file sparse, or is it filled in with zeros? Is it hosted on ext3? Especially if it's sparse, but in either case, I'd be curious to know if it works out any better or worse with other filesystems hosting the image file - trying ext4 and/or xfs just as an experiment might be interesting... -Eric _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
