      Can you give it a try with kernel parameter nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 ?

        3b:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Sandisk Corp Device [15b7:5003] ( rev 01)
        Subsystem: Sandisk Corp Device [15b7:5003]
        Kernel driver in use: nvme

        I also wanted to look into this disk controller in the kernel build. This is not the typical intel nvme disk controller, its something new. I’m wondering if there is some kernel settings missing for this new hardware.

        But I would surely try the kernel parameter that Quazz posted because that has fixed other strange nvme performance issues.

          Hi Quazz,

          I have successfully been able to capture and deploy images fully without any issues setting the Host Kernel Arguments value to nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500. Thank you greatly for this information.

          Now is there way we can we set this argument permanently for all captures and deployments and not have to create host entries for all future image deployments?

          Thanks all.

            @rocksteve69 You can set it for all under FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> General -> Kernel args

              Excellent, thank you. Will test and report back.

                It seems like we may have similar issues except I can capture image fine but deploying images is extremely slow (10MB/min).
                I’m updating to latest version of Fog 1.5.7.0 to 1.5.7.2 and going to try Kernal parameter as well if the update doesn’t resolve the issue
                nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500

                I too am using the HP Elitebook G6, except 840 not 830

                  I’m trying this for our G6’s. I’ve updated to 1.5.7.4 and added the nvme_core kernel argument, but when I PXE boot it shows an error about that parameter being invalid. Anyone else see this issue?

                    @Shad0wguy Please provide a clear screen shot of the error taken with a mobile phone. The context of the error is important here.

                      Hi,

                      Apologies for the late feedback. We have been successfully imaged 10 G6 laptops but now we new are getting the same error message as ‘Shad0wguy’.

                      I have attached a screen cap.

                      Error6.jpg

                      Could be the bios has been updated so will check and report back.!

                      Kind regards,

                      Steven

                        @rocksteve69 other than the export errors are you experiencing any issue? The export errors are understandable because of the dot in the parameter name.

                          @george1421 Thanks for the reply.

                          Basically there is no other errors and the original issue is present again, slowness like the disk is back in low power mode.

                          I have done some investigations to find the difference between the two G6s and have re-imaged a working one fine and failed on the newer G6s. The difference appears to be with regards to SSDs.

                          Working G6s have West Digital and non-working have Samsung.

                          I can confirmed this on 10 of each and it appears the nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 command has no effect on the Samsung SSDs.

                          Here is a putty extra of a non working G6 with a Samsung SSD.

                            @rocksteve69 Try nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

                            For the purposes of FOS, we don’t require a threshold where the drive assumes a lower power state, so we may as well try and eliminate lower power states altogether.

                            There may also be firmware updates for the SSDs in question

                              Hi, I have tested with the command nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 and it made no difference to the G6 with the Samsung SSDs

                              We see about the firmware update for the SSD and report back

                                  @Quazz The SSD model is Samsung MZVLB256HAHQ-000H1-S425NE0M726296.

                                    @rocksteve69 This may be too much to ask, but if you swapped the WD drive for the Samsung drive in the same model laptop, does the problem move with the drive? That would then point directly to the Samsung drive.

                                    @Quazz do you think the updated version of partclone would solve this issue ?

                                      @george1421 To be honest, I never expected the partclone update to really change anything in that regard. I just figured there was a possibility that it could improve somewhat.

                                      I’ve been confusing this thread with another one I think. I assumed he was already on those inits.

                                      It’s worth a shot!

                                        I have done just that. If I swap the drives works fine with WD. Samsung doesn’t work within either laptop. I could attempt to put one of the drives within a known working G5 as this will completely rule out anything else.

                                          I can try. How does one install the update version of partclone?

                                            I have also just tried the Samsung G6 SSD in a G5 and it worked fine with no issues, imaged in record time.

                                            Starting to get very confused.
