Incus-migrate: it's quite slow for me

Incus

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:

i am testing migrate a proxmox vm to incus and it takes a very long time too. the conversion from qcow2 to raw was done quickly but transfering the instance is to slow. And it seems it transfers the whole disk regardless of the used space inside the vm.

But at the end it worked and this is quite nice.
