That definitely helped. Faster booting and now the bottleneck is gone somewhere. dd-tests look good now, I already do a first backup via virt-backup (which runs a dd with bs=4M under the hood ... and I pipe that through pigz ...) Now I migrate and slim down this kernel config for the (gentoo-)stable kernel linux-3.12.21-gentoo-r1 ... we'll see! Thanks @thegeezer for the help so far! Stefan
