Re: How long should it take to initialize a 600gb NWS load source?

[Evan Harris <auctionitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think recreating the storage space would probably have been quicker, at
least that what my experience has been (though I do not have any actual
numbers to quantify this).

The only reason I can think of why this might be is that the CRTNWSSTG runs
on the host system and accesses the disk directly whereas the disk
initialization is going through a layer of virtualization.

I also think the CRTNWSSTG has less performance impact on the disks which
is useful if there is any workload running in the hosted LPAR.
