Dann, right, using --no-listing as default and adding the --verbose option was a possible solution, but, as discussed with Bernard, if a user turns on the verbose option the overhead of the virtual console becomes very expensive and the installation could take a lot of time, since all the output is stored in /tmp/si_monitor.log on the client, periodically captured by si_monitortk on the image server and shown in the virtual console on the image server... more exactly the bottleneck seems to be at the client-side when piping all the output to /tmp/si_monitor.log (even if it is on tmpfs).
To resolve this problem we decided to bypass the virtual console if a user wants the total listing of files and print the output directly on the real console. But personally I'd like to use --no-listing as the default behaviour, since the installation is lighter, faster and in general a user doesn't care about the total listing of the files... Maybe the optimal solution should be to: 1) remove --no-listing and add --verbose option 2) add a verbosity level parameter for the virtual console, or better add another value to VIRTUAL_CONSOLE to tune the verbosity level, for example: VIRTUAL_CONSOLE=yes|no|verbose With 'no' the virtual console is disabled, with 'yes' it's enabled (and these are the current supported values) and with 'verbose' _all_ the stdout and stderr are captured from the client and printed to the virtual console.
