Update FOG to 1.5.7.2 didn’t help
Update FOG kernel to 5.1.16 didn’t help
Update Partclone to 0.3.12 (see @Quazz post) did help

Maybe it’s some spontaneous fix as it was before
I’ll update if still will be issues with imaging.

Thank you for helping,

Just now (before upgrading FOG and Partclone) I’ve reimaged one new HP 840 G6 with the same SSD Toshiba, and the same BIOS version. Everything was fine. The speed was 1.5-1.6 GB/min.
I raise my hands
I don’t know where is the difference between “fast” and “slow” laptops.

But anyway I’ll upgrade my FOG server.

@Quazz Do you have some manual as I can upgrade the Partclone?

@Quazz I checked, exactly same disks were in the previous HP laptop model - 840 G5. So I think the next test I’ll do it’s downgrading BIOS version to the previous version.

Last status:

Another “Baggy” laptop with a low Partclone speed:
HP 840 G6
SSD: Toshiba KXGZNV512G
Let’s name it Laptop A

Good laptop:
Dell E5470
SSD Intel
Let’s name it Laptop B

Testing process:

1. SSD A (from a buggy laptop) inserted to laptop B - worked fine (SSD itself is not a problem)
2. SSD B (from a good laptop) inserted to laptop A - worked fine (the laptop itself is not a problem)
3. SSD A inserted back to the laptop A - worked very slow

Very strange situation. Partclone is not working with a specific laptop and specific SSD.

@Quazz I’ll check SSD model for the next “baggy” laptop. Today for Crucial P1 NVMe M.2 1TB worked without issues

The new test ran without this problem. The Partclone ran fast as usual and imaging took less than a minute.
Maybe it depends on the type of SSD disk…?

@Sebastian-Roth I don’t know how, but it helped. Maybe something else happened at the same time. As I wrote need to more tests

The workaround was found.
When I used diskpart and removed all partitions from the disk before cloning (used boot from regular Win10 installation usb media), after that Partclone ran as usual.
Need to test on more laptops to be sure.

Hello FOG people!

I have a strange problem.
Working with FOG about a year. Version 1.5.4 installed on CentOS 7 at VirtualBox environment. Deploying Win10 image to Dell and HP laptops. Everything was fine, but a new model HP EliteBook 840 G6 unavailable to cloning because of very low speed of Partclone - about 6 MB/min. It can’t be a network issue because of previous HP 840 G5 model and all DELL models are cloning normally. And it isn’t a specific laptop problem, I have checked 3 laptops from this model and all have the same problem.

Maybe somebody had the same problem?

Thanks for helping,
