The task finished fine yesterday.
But since somehow the --min-receivers is not always the number of members in the multicast group, today :
[LIST=1]
[]unnistalled FOG, removed folders, services and erase the fog database.
[]Checked out new revision from [url]https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk[/url]
[]Clean installed FOG
[]Registered 3 clients
[]Created 2 groups, one with 2 clients the other with only one client
[]Started a multicast task for the 2 client’s group
[/LIST]
The task started but hanged in the beginning of the second partition (sda2).
I uploaded the multicast.log, and has you can see the --min-receivers, somehow changed to 4, which initially were 2.
Thanks

I have been doing some more tests on this issue.

I have started my normal multicast task for a group with 3 clients, they all went the “Starting to restore image…” Window but cloning doesn’t start.

udp-sender is up and running, and what it seems to be the problem is that while i only have 3 clients in the group the "–min-receivers " was 5 , i suppose this has to be 3.

I canceled the task and executed it again and now the task started, with --min-receivers 3, i’m gonna wait the cloning process finish’s just to confirm that it doesn’t hang between partitions.

Thats because the service ins’t running, try [CODE]sudo service FOGMulticastManager start[/CODE]

I normally use in Ubuntu “sudo service <servicename> start/stop” but for some reason it seems that “sudo /etc/init.d/<servicename>[SIZE=2] start/stop” works somehow [/SIZE]differently[SIZE=2] and with some services better!!![/SIZE]

Both client machines finished all partitions.

I have one client, lets call him client1 with first boot = Network, and the other client2 with first boot = HD, what happened was, after restoring all partitions, client2 booted to windows and changed the hostname accordingly, but client1 entered again in the multicast task and hanged in the last partition, don’t understand how this happened…

Now i’m running the same task in 3 clients, just started, let’s see how it goes.

Hi and good week for every1,

Just checked the if udp-sender was running and it wasn’t, just restarted [FONT=Consolas]FOGMulticastManager, restarted the clients and multicast is working, lets see if all goes well until the end, since i have many partitions.[/FONT]

[FONT=Consolas]Last week i also managed to get multicast to start, but also hanged between partitions.[/FONT]

[FONT=Consolas]I will keep you updated in 1 hour or so.[/FONT]

OK thanks, but in the previous versions of FOG partclone was also used?

It seems to me that there is some kind of syncing that fails, i suppose there is a trigger where the server “knows” that all the machines that belong to a certain multicast sessions are all ready to receive, or he detects that a machine is disconnected when she isn’t.

The multicast never stops in the middle of a partition at least i haven’t seen that, i only hangs when the process is starting a new partition replication.

i’m sorry but i dont have any hub’s

I already used this switch from Nortel in other tests i made using previous version of FOG (0.32 or 0.33) and never had any problems using multicast

I have tried with a different image with only 2 or partitions but the problem remains …

I don’t know if this information in important butI was on version 1.0.0 then upgraded to version 1.0.1

Hi and thank you for the quick response.

I uploaded the 3 images and the multicast logs.

Thank you

Hi

I have been testing the 1.0.0 and now the 1.0.1, and i congratulate the developers team for the hard work, there are nice improvements at the interface level and also supporting new features.

I’m using Ubuntu server 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-24-generic but i’m having problems with multicast, when i send the multicast task to a group with 3 clients sometimes they all hang starting the fisrt partition (sda1) and other times randomly starting partition (sda3 or sda4), i have been whatching multicast.log.udpcast.16 but cant find the source of the problem.

My HD partitions :

Screen where multicast hangs , i think it could be any partition (sda1 or sda2 and so on):

multicast.log.udpcast.16 when it hanged

[IMG]http://s27.postimg.org/dp2lwcmdb/log.jpg[/IMG]

I have many partitions, i know, but i already used the same HD configuration with previous versions of Fog 0,32, and i never had this issue before

I selected Windows 7 OS option and also Multiple Partition - Single Disk , the image is working fine for a single machine download, i only get the problem when downloading using multicast.

Thank you.
