Comment 3 for bug 747068

> Actually I'm wondering whether this is a duplicate of bug 578199.

I did the patch, but same result... :-(

> I'd recommend building a single pristine image (where time to build doesn't matter), and snapshot or copy that when you need a new image and make the few changes you need to.

It's an idea for some VMs, but we also want to build a lot of 'disposable' VMs completly 'new' with complete diffrent build scripts and parameters...

> Interesting... ( /tmp [EXT4] -> [EXT3] )

See also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Performance regressions with ext4 under certain workloads

> Are you using a local archive mirror?
> It's possible that if you switch back to ext4 now it'll go much faster.

I have in our network an "apt-mirror" server.
Another machine, but is own Gigabit connection...

> Is sda1 your tmpfs?
> If so, edit your fstab to mark it as ext3.

I have my tmpfs on default. (not filled in)

> Please give us the full command line and any configuration files which you used to run vmbuilder, so I can try to reproduce the ext4 booting error.

I also noticed that the "--firstboot" and the "--firstlogin" don't work,
but first the big EXT4-fs error...
