Thierry: Half joking, I'll point out that anybody can have root on an Ubuntu system for an hour for only $0.10 with EC2.
More seriously: If the benefit of the rsync approach is only to increase the number of inodes, perhaps the original mke2fs could be run with the -N option to increase the number of inodes to something reasonable for both 2GB and 10GB. The truncate method certainly seems like it would be faster than the rsync. -- UEC images could be smaller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
