TL;DR,

If you’re seeing performance issues scaling with high bandwidth FOG servers that should have the hardware horsepower to make it work, check your NIC settings, especially when virtualized. txqueuelen parameter in Linux can make a huge difference. If it’s virtualized, look into the settings on both the host and the guest.

You should be able to get >10Gbit from your FOG server if you have hardware that will support it. We hit ours with 20 devices this afternoon all pulling 47gb images and the whole shebang was over in 7 minutes.

Solved!

MSI

Can I ask you to post to this thread: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10987/what-can-we-do-when-we-don-t-trust-uuid With the inventory data from one of those MSI boards? We only need one entry unless you have different computer models than mainstream Dell,HP,Lenovo. We are looking for a good example of different mobo manufacturers and how they populate smbios (what FOG queries to identify the target machines).

@entr0py Tom was saying that there was an issue with resizing in 1.4.4, would you try out upgrading to the latest RC9 version and see if this is solved.

@Tom-Elliott

Don’t be sorry! Thanks for all you do!
