@Mr_K
Thanks for the help Tom. You got me pointed in the right direction. Everything is working now.

I did a complete Ubnutu and fog fresh install to make sure I wasn’t missing anything and noticed during the installation it was grabbing my WAN IP as the fog server IP and then somehow changing the fog server IP to my LAN IP. So when I clicked on the link from the terminal after it had finished it was 192.168.1.148 however everything was setup “certs, storage Ipxe” ect as my WAN IP 20.21.X.X.

All I had to do was just change the fog settings so the IP’s matched re ran the installer to grab the new files and everything is running perfect now.

Fresh install using ver1.5.10.1826

Works perfectly. Can register hosts as normal

Maybe a bug with 1.6.0… hopefully if anyone else experiences this issue this might help

I often record this with a phone then you can pick out the error in that micro flash of text.
I think most of the time picking a different X.pxe file resolves this for me.

@bond007fink A new version of ntfs-3g, which is the parent package for ntfsresize, has finally been released last week. That’s after 4 years of no updates. If all goes well, I will be doing an experimental release this weekend with the newer package.

As @Tom-Elliott stated, this is not an issue with FOG itself, instead FOG relies on tools like ntfs-3g and partclone to handle all the NTFS filesystem changes. Hopefully this updated version fixes your issue.
I will update the thread once the experimental release is available.

@Tom-Elliott

This is fixed, too, and can be marked as solved. The reason was stale WOL power action. I deleted those manually from the DB, and the CPU went back to normal.

I’m not sure about the SSH and replication issues, but I deleted my physical storage node, and I’m not seeing those anymore.

I’m still having huge problems. Updated Fog. Rebuilt the Windows 11 image. … Windows 11 changes the boot order.
The image works for a few days—then it stops working.
Multicast only works sometimes—just now the image worked with one computer, but not with three in multicast—it just stops at 94% for no reason. What surprises me the most is that with this computer, only BOOT EXIT TYPE: SANBOOT works. I don’t understand much about this, but it seems wrong to me.

@pillbox1234567 Thanks for the suggestion. I turned Viridian off on the cloned VM, and it did not make a difference.

Interesting note that you’ve seen it cause boot issues on certain Linux VMs. I have not experienced that behavior yet but will keep an eye out for it.

@Preston Wow that was a super answer, thanks Preston! I’ll give this a go in the week. 🙂

@Exsival When you say “Causing the fog server to crash” what exactly do you mean?

If it’s just a “saying” I can understand that but from a technical standpoint what this means is completely different and would need logs. If all you mean is the machine in quesiton is hanging, that’s a different issue altogether. I highly doubt the whole FOG Server is crashing.

@lucasgfaj have you turned off secure boot?

@Tom-Elliott
I did not update yet to 1824, but i did SELECT * FROM HISTORY;

MariaDB [fog]> SELECT * FROM history; +-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+---------------------+-------------+ | hID | hText | hUser | hTime | hIP | +-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+---------------------+-------------+ | 1 | [2026-04-01 08:33:55] MulticastSession ID: 1 NAME: test has been successfully updated. | fog | 2026-04-01 08:33:55 | 10.10.3.116 | +-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+---------------------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.000 sec)

the new session i create are not shown, and dont work until i run the maintenance queries

then it shows in history table:

MariaDB [fog]> SELECT * FROM history; +-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+---------------------+-------------+ | hID | hText | hUser | hTime | hIP | +-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+---------------------+-------------+ | 1 | [2026-04-01 08:33:55] MulticastSession ID: 1 NAME: test has been successfully updated. | fog | 2026-04-01 08:33:55 | 10.10.3.116 | | 2 | [2026-04-01 09:10:37] MulticastSession ID: 1 NAME: test has been successfully updated. | fog | 2026-04-01 09:10:37 | 10.10.3.116 | +-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+---------------------+-------------+ 2 rows in set (0.000 sec)

@devle I’ve made a couple of edits, though I still cannot replicate the problem you’re seeing.

You shouldn’t see the errors any more (just saying), though I don’t know if these things will fix whatever problem you’re seeing.

@Tom-Elliott All good the last update fixed the issue!
