Package: qemu-utils
Version: 1.0+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

hi

if I mount a partition, let's say
  # sudo qemu-nbd -P 1 -c /dev/nbd1 `pwd`/debian_squeeze.qcow2 
  # sudo mount /dev/nbd1 /mnt
and then I write large files into /mnt,
it happens that the writing is quite quite slow,
and moreover that, while the system is writing,
the load average goes very high (~6) , even though,
according to 'top', no process is really using a lot of memory
or of CPU. Similarly when I tried to reduce the size using
  # sudo wipe2fs /dev/nbd1

Maybe there is some way to improve this situation?
(Cache and reorder data blocks in 'qemu-nbd' before writing to the disk?)
