@olivier I know you saw it (since you posted) but for anyone not getting e-mails from bugs.xenserver.org ... they are close to hopefully fixing the import/export bug.

Awesome, I saw some emails fly by about that this morning.

Now there is something to test. As soon I'm back from Xen Dev Summit I'll test it!
edit: just read the commit message to understand why it was slow

OMG really?
This saves an enormous amount of time because the sha1 hash can be
computed without forking a new process for each 1MiB chunk of data. -
Glad to see this moving forward. 20MB/sec imports and exports are lame.

This will help directly for basic backups and DR. I'm not sure about VHD exports, which are already faster.
-
Ah, i thought it was related to the import/export bug tracker on their jira. good to know.
-
That's related. But as we are using VM export for backup, that will have a huge impact (I hope)

Keeping our fingers crossed for you. (And us!)

Have you guys done any testing? Would like to hear what improvements you guys are seeing.
