Xen users - Sep 2009 - About Snapshots

Hi list,

I''m not sure about how snapshots works on Xen. For example, if I 
snapshot a DomU with 10GB HD will take, for example, 30 seconds. But, if 
I snapshot a DomU with a 100GB HD will take longer (I guess).

So, I wanna know how the snapshot works on xen. What if I want to move a 
snapshotted with a 100GB HD from a Dom0 to another Dom0? I''ve to move a
100GB file?

Any documentation about it?

Thanks.

You could try this approach:

Makes snapshots quite quick.
