Phil,
I was running the cloning demo (using IUCV) in the last Linuxworld. The
demo was running on a z800 with the latest shark. The images that was
created have 64m virtual memory and 150 cylinders R/W "/", 100 cylinders
swap disk, R/O /usr and R/O /usr/src. The first images take about 15
seconds. Through out the day we created more than 500 images and it average
out between 30-45 seconds.
The redpaper using larger minidisk and VQDIO and I have not have a chance
to running on the same z800 with the shark.

Quick 'analyst' question (I'll download and read it when I have the time,
but not until next
week at the earliest):
Roughly how quickly could a new Linux image be established using this
technique on, e.g., a
z800?
