Incus-migrate: it's quite slow for me

I’m currently in the proccess importing VMs into incus. For this i’m using the provided incus-migrate binary. Hoewer, in two widely different incus installations i’m only seeing around 4 MB/s when transferring the instance. I find that quite slow.

I’m running it in both cases on the hosts themself and transferring it to the local Incus server.

Currently i’m using the binary from Release Incus 6.12 · lxc/incus · GitHub and the incus server is on the LTS Version but i’ve also seen it with an earlier versions of the migrate tool.

Do others have similar or diferent experiences with import speed?

(Importing an iso via incus storage volume import is quite a bit faster.)


Oh, and thanks for incus. I quite like it! :slight_smile:
