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?
