I recently switched from 1.2.0 to 1.5.7 and while there are some things I don’t like, the imaging speeds have become incredibly fast. Previously on a Dell laptop with a SSD, the speeds were around 4 - 5 Gigabytes per minute. That was with a Cat 5e connection. After the update and transferring the same exact image files (I copied them over), using the exact same computer and connection, the speeds are around 13 Gigabytes per minute! I’m very happy to be getting that speed over Cat 5e connection. What ever voodoo magic is happening is working well! Thank you to anyone contributing to the project!

Some praise for the developers...

RE: Multicast freezing in partclone screen: Starting to restore image to device.
Check to make sure that the multicast service is running. This happens to myself every so often. The service just decides to stop running and will do exactly as you described.

RE: No operating system error message after wiping HD and trying to image
I think I know what the issue is. Try shrinking the partition/volume on the computer that is used for creating the image before uploading. That way the partition that is restored is will be a few GBs less than what the computer you are trying to image to. I noticed when I was trying to image to identical computers the claimed to have the same hard drive space as the computer that the image was made on I had the same issue you had in the video. The computer doesn’t actually image FOG seems to just bail out and then the computer reboots.
Edit: An easier way to test this would be to throw in a hard drive that you for sure know is larger (not the same) than the hard that the image came from and then try imaging. Or even just use a different computer with a larger hard drive to test if the imaging process starts (even if the image isn’t built for that computer you can still do it just to test).

RE: Multicast freezing in partclone screen: Starting to restore image to device.
@danilopinotti What did it say when you used the commands? Any error messages? Was is actually started? You may have to use “sudo service FOGMulticastManager start” instead of restart if the service isn’t started or at least I think I had to.

RE: Database Schema Installer / Updater Update/Install Failed!
@econcepts Sounds like your issue is the same as what people are describing here: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/564935-fog-database-error
The solution that worked for them:
Here is the post with the answer (I prefer vi to nano but I just copied the post as it was from the FOG forums) I will do this and let everyone know:
Open up
sudo nano /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
Notate both the host, username & passwordOpen up
sudo nano /opt/fog/.fogsettings
Fill in the following portionssnmysqluser=“{root}”
snmysqlpass=“{password if you have one}”
snmysqlhost=“{localhost}”
Reset the mySQL database password to be what is in the config files
run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
replace the last two numbers if using a different version of mySQLenter in the new password
From that point on it should stay working after rebooting.

RE: Database Schema Installer / Updater Update/Install Failed!
@Wayne-Workman I can also confirm that it worked for myself too. That’s how I knew about the post and I wanted to make sure to share it.

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you very much! I tested it and it worked!
