Hi again :)

I was converting an LVM based image to sheepdog using:

# qemu-img convert /dev/vmvg/web sheepdog:web

and noticed it took 2.5 hours to complete. The image is 8GB in size. The sheepdog/corosync network is a direct Gbit link between two nodes. Any idea as to why this is taking so long ? Small blocksize perhaps ? The cluster is using copies=2. Using sheepdog from git (0.2.3) and qemu-kvm 0.14.

Another question regarding the state of high availability in sheepdog, I noticed it is possible to specify multiple sheepdog hosts in my qemu XML definition, and it defaults to localhost. I would like to avoid specifying multiple sheepdog hosts in the XML definition if possible and was wondering what happens to the VMs when the sheep daemon dies for example. The entire node failing would not be a problem I guess as the remaining node would then startup the VMs that were running on the failed node.

Thanks.
