That's ok, we're chasing lots of random features at the same time, so no
rush on this one.   Ultimately we have a pretty good solution now for
supporting foreign OS's by using "cobbler image add" and "koan with
--image" to install ISO's, so we have a route to installing Windows and
foreign OS's in fullvirt that way.

Physical cloning tools would be interesting but I think they are not
nearly as critical (and would be a case where I'd rather see p2v
migration first).

When referring to dd (I imagine over NFS), how slow does slow mean?
Just curious there (I can imagine pretty slow).

Attachment seems to be missing?  Can you resend it?

I attached it, I really did!... maybe not.

Anyways, I don't have an exact time, but I'd guess it takes 30-60 minutes for 40 gigabytes over nfs maybe.  I'm not sure, I usually leave it and go do something else.

Also, I like that this will be immediately supported through the distro add command by passing in the kernel and initrd.  So once this works, there's nothing else to do except maybe have a convenience function.
