I see upload times of an hour and up at max compression but since I typically just update these images once or twice a year and deployment is much faster I don’t really see this as an issue unless you are constantly updating images.

I’ve only seen this behavior when upgrading and i forget to kill outstanding tasks or the server reboots during a host edit/add.

I think this and the truncate tasks script should both make it to the wiki.

I second that emotion Most of what I do at this point is google and cut and paste to my command line while I am learning a lot as I go along it is a very steep learning curve and this would go a long way to helping you guys who have been so very helpful better understand what the hell we did to our servers this time.

I had the same issue and Tom helped me manualy remove it from the sql database.

quick tip from another command line noob I use ssh to connect to my server from a windows box via putty anything I highlight with my mouse is in my paste buffer then I just copy it into my post directly or to a txt file also if you copy a command string from a windows post you can right click and past it directly to your command line.

I almost think we should make that truncate part of the upgrade script. Except it screws with the logs doesn’t it?

Just remember to post back here if you fix it so we can see the solution.

Dropped it about 5 years back when we still used xp.

when you wiped the drive does it still have an mbr fog expects a format drive and errors on a raw blank.

Two things to check under the image select os type it is no longer part of the host record and under image also select storage group.

Ok waited till everyone was done imaging today and ran it and no change so I went back to the forums and truncate table snapinJobs; truncate table snapinTasks; which solved the issue.

what does the fog log show

Perhaps but I have good luck with 12.04 lts and its easier for me to find cut and paste solutions equal to my noob skills.

Comment it out so you can switch it back but I know its fixed simular behavior on mine. Check the wiki I know there are issues with 14 and that its not currently recomended. [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_14.04[/url]

Its the same on my copy of ubuntu 12.04 64bit server what version are you running?

Only if your running ubuntu its an os specific fix I believe.

If your running ubuntu the issue can be php session purging fix instructions here [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Fog_Tweaks[/url]

Is the select the Host Name?

Back in this thread <[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/host-name-already-exists.12368/>we[/url] removed a bad record from the database manually I need some advice for a complete sql noob on how to open the correct database for active tasks select the record and delete it. OS is ubuntu 12.04 SVN 3084.
