Latest Development FOG

[Tom Elliott]

Basically,

He switched from using gunzip to do the decompression to using pigz.

I don’t see any difference, but i use a war machine as server. it’s possible, it’s only on small configuration ?

the performance increase is dependent on the specs of the computer you are imaging. the biggest performance boost will be seen with multi-core computers with SSD drives.

I saw a difference just in upload from a Dell Precision M4800 with a standard 2.5" HDD, running an i7 and 16GB of RAM. Download will be tested later on a crappy machine.

I’m seeing significant increases in deployment speeds. Well done and thank you.

I can tell you this as testing it to compare,
Lenovo M73 with a 500 Gig hd, mechanical, 7200RPM icore5 2.6ghz quad CPU, 8 Gig DDR3 ram and gig Ethernet connection to server.

Prior to updates, was imaging up to fog @ 500Meg/min to 1Gig/min Maxed out. This is a 70Gig usable partition.
Prior to updates, was pulling image from fog @ 1Gig/min to 1.8-9 Gig/min, Same config 70 Gig usable partition.

After updates - Same info/Same image/Same Config
Upload to Fog was 4-4.5 Gig/min
Download from Fog started @ 14Gig/min and trickled down to a steady 7.5Gig/min stayed there until it was completed.

Big Thanks to Junkhacker for identifying the compression and Tom Elliott for getting Multicore functional.
As always, Awesome collaboration to make Fog better.

Hi
After updating to latest edition 3377 i can not image a new disks that does not have partitions at all. I am getting a message Error could not stat device mklabel No such file or directory.
I have tried it to virtualbox and i am getting the same error

Any ideas

[George]

Hi again

I have updated to latest 3380 version and same thing happens. Is anybody else has the same problem

Thanks

[Tom Elliott]

George,

I am attempting to get FOG to initialize the disks for you, but I don’t know where/why it’s failing. It should be 100% fresh at that points as my setup makes it so it clears all partition tables, then creates a single partition, and now formats it if there are no found partitions on it. Maybe I screwed it up somewhere? I don’t know.

In the mean time, you can boot your system and make a temporary formatted partition. This will force the disk to be initialized and you should no longer have issues with FOG trying to image the device.

Love the speed increase. Download speeds went from 4gb/min to 8gb/min.

Hi Tom

Thanks for the fast answer
I have made a partirtition the whole disk and formated with ntfs. Now partclone starts, images the boot partition but it fails to image the second.

As i can see it fails to delete the partitions and partclone images only the first one.
I have made all tests with virtualbox.

Hi Tom

I am uploading a video capture from virtualbox so you can see what is happening exactly.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Hi

I have tested with 3347 in a different server and it is doing the same thing

[need2]

You should try again with svn 3400+. Changes were made to partition handling.

[George]

I have tried with svn 3407 and same thing happens.
Does anyone else experienced the same problem.

Can you create a new thread with all pertaining details of your problem?

REV 3412 : loose of download speed

@TheKoR said:

We haven’t changed anything in the speed department. So if there’s a loss of speed in download/upload, maybe check the network or hardware within the machine?

[TheKoR]

All my test are done with the same machine (latitude d630) same place on my network.

Before junkhacker change i have 8/8.5 Go/min, with 3405 i have 9/10Go/min and with 3412 i have 6.5/Go/min

Edit : solved by reboot !
