It'd be very good to have a console so you can see what really truly
happened.  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...
