Need too much time.
The proposed increase in the a-solid real fast option,
Just like VHDTOOL tool that is the solid-solid consume actual size but create file is a moment of things

Sorry, but could you please detail your question. I`m not sure, that I have properly understood you.

Constantin,
I think lsq726 is trying to create an IMG based target and it's taking too long, probably because it's zeroing out a 2TB file. Maybe if he used the UI instead and doesn't select the option to write zeroes to the img? Or there's a -sparse option for mkimage, isn't there?
cheers,
Aitor

Hello Aitor! Thanks for clarification, I understood this question the same as you, but I prefer always to double check!
Anyway, if you will not fill image with zeroes, you`ll need much less time for creation.
