Fog 0.33 Beta Issue
-
just cruising by since yesterday…what speeds where you getting before you updated to Toms latest bzImage for this exact deploy image? Are you at least 1Gb all the way around from the workstation to the network switch to the fog server? Also what are your specs for the fog server? is it a direct install with linux or you using a VM?
-
Before we were getting very good speeds. We could push this same image to a pc in about 17mins. Th efog server is a quad core beefed up VM
-
Scott,
Check the switch between your client and your server. As these systems network drivers never worked until this latest kernel, how were you imaging them before? Are other clients affected by slow speeds?
-
The switching appears to be fine. If I revert back to 3.8 kernel I can image any other machine with excellent speeds using the same cable/switch. I have never imaged this lenovo pc. It is a new pc I am testing before I purchase them. I want to be sure I can use them with fog before I buy a bunch of them. My M73 Lenovos image perfectly using the same switch/cable to the server. I can put a 40 gb image down in about 17 mins.
-
While on the 3.12, does it affect the speeds of the known good systems?
-
I will check this tomorrow. Thank You
-
The systems that are known to be good are slow as well using 3.12 kernel.

Scott,
I’m currently rebuilding another 3.12.0 kernel that is based strictly off the Core Config. Removed the KMS Requirements and added all network drivers back. There are no other tweaks to this configuration. Please test this new kernel to see if you have an improvement. If you don’t I’ll keep tweaking the kernel settings as then I know it’s likely something with the drivers that’s causing your issue.
It will probably be about 30 minutes or so, but it will be at the same link as it’s the same file. Just give me till the turn of the next hour and it’ll be up. I hope this helps.
-
Will do thanks
-
Please let me know when it is available to test.
-
It’s now available to test. It has been for a little bit now.
-
Thanks I will test it soon

Sorry for the other post but I got it to load. I did have to reboot the server. Unfortunately it is doing the same thing going super slow. One thing I will say I am not sure if its something you need to know or not but When it firsts start to image it copies the first 99mbs very quickly and then goes slow.
-
I don’t know how to correct for that.
I’m working on something at the moment. It just seems odd that it slows down where, to my knowledge, others haven’t been having that issue.
I’m going to try building just a core kernel with only your network drivers. That should limit any issues on the kernel’s side.
-
Scott,
Once again, I’ve rebuilt the kernel.
Try this one as it’s specific to your machine (hopefully):

Same results. copies about 90 mbs then chokes.
-
Then there’s something else going on. At that point, it can’t be the kernel. How slow were your “known good systems” when you started imaging them? Where they done to the same EXTREME Slow, or just slightly slower than before?
-
The known good systems were extremely slow as well just like the new one using 3.12
