@sebastian-roth I have been on fog 1.5.9 since the beginning. I was able to unicast a 1.2TB image 3 months ago, but now unicast slows down on all PCs just like multicast. Tested on multiple PCs. Nothing on the network should have changed. We have had VLANs set up since the beginning. No change in the switch or the firewall, just the ISP has changed, which shouldn’t effect it

@sebastian-roth updated to the latest version of ubuntu and fog. Same issue occurs. I highly doubt it’s the NIC on the PC since we were able to fog with no problems in the past. Not sure where else the problem can lie. I will try blowing out the server and starting again to see if anything changes

@Sebastian-Roth scratch that I got the fog server working. testing the multicasting again

@sebastian-roth now I updated the ubuntu version to 20 instead of 18 and I can’t access my fog web portal. Seems like the folders are still there, but not the web portal. I tried reinstalling it and it gave me an error

@sebastian-roth the server and PCs are connected to the same unifi switch. The server is running Ubuntu 18 LTS within VMware ESXi 6.7. We run a LAN center so I can’t really test out other PCs. We were able to fog in the past, but now it doesn’t want to go through with unicast or multicast. I can try updating Ubuntu to see if it works. I’m on Fog version 1.5.9, which I think is the latest version. Any other tips or tricks? If this doesn’t work today I may just blow out the fog server and start it over again.

Again, capturing is no problem, it sits at a steady 7GB/min, but deploying causes the rate to constantly fall until it freezes.

The image needs to be that big since it contains PC games and apps (Both Call of Duty games alone are around 300-400GB)

@sebastian-roth I’ve been having trouble deploying images using unicast too. They tend to start off fast (14GB/min) and just slowly drop until they freeze around 30%. The image size is 700GB. We can deploy small images about 30-60GB with no problem, but bigger images slow down and freeze up.

Image Type = Single Disk - Resizable
Partition = Everything
Compression = 6
Image Manager = Partclone Zstd

We have 5 different physical locations that are experiencing similar issues, 3 have one PC build and 2 have a different PC build. We use CAT6 cabling and the fog server + clients are on the same VLAN.

Fog deployments slowly go from 14GB/min down to 100mb/min and end up freezing up. How can I fix this?

I am able to access the fog server, but the webUI password was lost. How can I change that. I am running 1.5.9 and I have tried the 1.5.0 steps on this page:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@tom-elliott thank you for the quickest reply on a forum I’ve ever seen lol. Disabling hibernation mode fixed the issue. I appreciate your help!

Hello, I keep trying to capture an image, but can’t seem to resolve the error that keeps appearing. The error is as followed:

“Could not mount /dev/nvme0n1p1
Reason: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0)
Metadata kept in Windows cache refused to mount.
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state…”

I have received this error at other locations but sometimes rebooting it fixes the issue. I have tried rebooting, recreating the image (using ZSTD). Any help would be greatly appreciated
