Yesterday I was using the master branch of sheep and qemu 1.6.50 (from git).
Both have been downloaded and compiled yesterday morning (~7 utc).
Note: qemu was compiled on my laptop (always debian wheezy).
Sheep was run like this
  sheep -n size=20000 /mnt/sheep/dsk01,/mnt/sheep/dsk01/obj,/mnt/sheep/dsk02

Now I'm running
QEMU emulator version 1.6.0 (the branch taken from
git://github.com/sheepdog/qemu.git)

And latest master of sheep
Sheep 0.7.0_8_gf9d11c6.

I removed the object cache option (I was not using it anyway. cache=directsync)
sheep -n /mnt/sheep/dsk01,/mnt/sheep/dsk01/obj,/mnt/sheep/dsk02

git log -1 --oneline
81017d9 sheepdog: check simultaneous create in resend_aioreq

Now option '-n' is working fine!

I get 45-60 M/s.
