@Dee I guess you have a a fair amount of clients and maybe also storage nodes. All talking to the FOG server and causing too much load so other requests time out.

We have adjusted some values and fixed other related things in version 1.5.5 so might want to update and see if that helps.

[Dee]

@Sebastian-Roth I’ll do that tomorrow morning. Guess if that works I’ll start researching how to get Debian (Virtual server) to see another drive so I can change the /home/image directory to another hard terabyte drive. Thanks Sebastian!

@Sebastian-Roth There were 7 computers scheduled to download image which shouldn’t be too many. OK I downloaded the file fog_1.5.5.tar.gz and it’s in my Downloads file. Just wanting to make sure this is the correct commands since I’m not thinking straight right now.
cd /Downloads
tar -xzf fog_1.5.5.tar.gz (or do I need to add the v in there?
/installfog.sh

Is that all there is?

Can I delete the old tar files safely?
Any other files you suggest removing to increase space?

@Dee You can delete old tar files safely.

You have to enter the bin directory after extraction (before ./installfog.sh)

So:

cd Downloads
tar -xzf fog_1.5.5.tar.gz 
cd fog_1.5.5/bin
./installfog.sh

the v parameter for tar stands for ‘Verbose’ and is always optional. (prints more info to screen)

FOG creates backups in /home for every upgrade (both web files and DB backup), so you could clear out those files (or to be safe move them off your server to a storage system somewhere)

Double check your /images/dev folder for stray unfinished capture sessions (the folders will be named to the MAC address of the device in question)

@Quazz Thanks Quazz. Will delete two and older files before upgrading.

[Dee]

@Quazz Is it also safe to delete:
/homefog_web_1.3.5.BACKUP
/homefog_web_1.3.0.BACKUP
/homefog_web_1.4.2.BACKUP
if I keep the latest one /homefog_web_1.5.4.BACKUP?

It would be nice if there was something in the Forum about what files can safely be removed unless I missed it.

It all depends. Never know if you need files from 1.4.2 at some point. I suppose you don’t, there should be no need to keep but I don’t want to phrase this as an official statement. Take a look at the folders and decide yourself if you think you might need those later on.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks! That saves a lot of space so I can upgrade from 1.5.4.
