        Probably a consequence of the increasing pressure coming from here: https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-581

        This is added to "Wishlist" and transmitted to a XS product manager.

            @olivier I know you saw it (since you posted) but for anyone not getting e-mails from bugs.xenserver.org ... they are close to hopefully fixing the import/export bug.

                  Now there is something to test. As soon I'm back from Xen Dev Summit I'll test it!

                  edit: just read the commit message to understand why it was slow 😉 https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/commit/3e9fc3cb230a220e87f3d5611bc7e7491d2a34bf

                    OMG really?

                    This saves an enormous amount of time because the sha1 hash can be
                    computed without forking a new process for each 1MiB chunk of data.

                      Glad to see this moving forward. 20MB/sec imports and exports are lame.

                        This will help directly for basic backups and DR. I'm not sure about VHD exports, which are already faster.

                          Ah, i thought it was related to the import/export bug tracker on their jira. good to know.

                            That's related. But as we are using VM export for backup, that will have a huge impact (I hope)

                                Have you guys done any testing? Would like to hear what improvements you guys are seeing.
