It seems the process is somehow very slow. In order to dramatically sped it up, please use cache=unsafe with your drives. It is recommended for an OS install too. The effect of it is that qemu ignores FLUSH_CACHE commands from gest, immediately reporting success, so I/O is dramatically reduced. Since it is inital OS install, in case of crash or anything it is trivial to re-start it from the beginning. /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
