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

To Phil: The amount of time to clone is highly dependent (naturally) on the DASD subsystem. Different technologies can and do yield drastically different times. So, asking what's the fastest is different than what's the fastest Chong achieved using his evironment and techniques. Yes, but

It'd be nice if the DASD boxes could have a copy on write feature akin to the Linux memory manager; This kind of technology would be reasonable for handling things like R/O images. Or am I confusing this with GPFS? No, that's essentially how the feature works. You ask

Hi, what about the updating-problem with shared /usr /usr/src? Do you know a nice way to do that - or are there any tools(commercial or not) available for such an environment - perhaps from the clustering-community. I bet it will not work with Yast online update, does it? ;-) Regards Simon --
