It's a sparse file so use rsync -S to move the file to your linux node.


I recommend using the qcow2 format. It's compatible across SmartOS and Linux hypervisors and is explicitly compact where the raw file is sparse.

Incidentally, for the people from the "Running Chrome OS on SmartOS" thread people, I recommend using qemu-img over dd; I'm pretty sure it will go faster. But if you really want to use dd, at least crank up the block size to something reasonable (e.g. "bs=128k").
