@Wayne-Workman This absolutely worked like a charm. Found that MAC was still in the hostMAC table, deleted it, and Bob’s your uncle. Really appreciate it Wayne! I’d love to update to the latest SVN but we’re in the middle of our busy time building and deploying images so it will likely have to wait until the fall. Thanks again!

I can report that both using the USB3 key method and enabling VMD worked for us as well. Great finds!

@sebastian-roth said in HP ProBook 640 G8 imaging extremely slowly:

@Dungody Thanks for the update and pictures! Definitely looks like you deploy to the NVMe driver. I still can’t see why a USB key plugged into the ProBook would make a difference. Though it sounds like it does.

In the picture I notice that you have partclone version 0.2.89. In FOG 1.5.9 we use the newer partclone 0.3.13. So I am wondering which version of FOG you use and if that is also playing a role here.

@Jacob-Gallant Would you want to give that a try as well?

I’d be happy to test this (and @diegotiranya storage controller settings) when I can, but we’ve been locked down due to COVID where I am so I can’t get back into the office in the near term. Looks like you have a few other testers now though! Glad I’m not the only one haha.

@sebastian-roth Thanks, I appreciate your efforts!

@sebastian-roth Thanks again Sebastian, here is the results of that command. Unfortunately we see the same network performance issues with this kernel.

@sebastian-roth Here you are. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uJJKgG4PSPHY8kQJ6

@sebastian-roth Hey Sebastian, the mtu size was 1500 when I ran than command. Unfortunately when I used the patched kernel I received a “no network interfaces found” error, did I miss a step?

@sebastian-roth OK, totally understand. Just let me know! Thanks for everything Sebastian.

@sebastian-roth How does this look? https://photos.app.goo.gl/2iZT3HmDE3A1wxJH9

@sebastian-roth I hadn’t used iperf, just a regular speed test (speedtest.net). Here are the results from iperf for ubuntu (still quite a few retries when connecting to the main FOG server):

Here are the results from the command above:

And here are the iperf3 results from Arch:

I can’t get SystemRescueCD to work as of yet, it will not connect to the network at all with that, but I’ll post the results when I get them.

@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastien, apologies again for the delayed response. I ran a live USB of Ubuntu 20.10 and network performance was normal. We also have Windows 10 loaded on one of the devices manually and it performs normally as well. It seems specific to FOG performance unfortunately.
