Great forum, glad I was able to find a solution.

@Cristian Any chance you are sending the image out to new/different machines than before? We have just received some new machines into our fleet (Lenovo neo 50q Gen 4), and we are seeing something similar…we get 14GB/min on the older machines, but these new machines are at about 2GB/min. I started a thread on that here:

https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/17698/fog-very-slow-to-deploy-image-lenovo-neo-50q-gen-4/2

Not sure if yours is for the same or similar reasons, but if it is, it might help to know if they are the same machines as we just got.

Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott @JJ-Fullmer Never mind, I found the logging levels. So now that I have the level maxed, where do I find the logs? Is that still in the web gui somewhere?

Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott So I moved an SSD from a slow machine to a machine that is running at full speed, and I can confirm that I get full speed out of the drive, so that rules that out.

Can someone tell me where I can enable/adjust logging levels for the kernel? I couldn’t seem to find it in the web gui.

Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott Yeah, that would be a good test to do…thanks for that suggestion.

@JJ-Fullmer Thanks for your reply! You have given me some places to at least look. I agree, if it was slowing down because of decompression, you would think it would be more widespread (unless there is some sort of issue/difference with the storage adapter and/or drive in these machines). My compression level is set to 6.

I will enable detailed kernel logging and see if that reveals anything.

This is not end of the world for me. I can still image a machine in about half an hour on these slow ones, but it is nice to be able to just send out an image to a machine if someone’s computer goes squirly and have them running in 10 minutes (plus, I think most of us sys admins have it in us to try and figure out why something isn’t working as expected )

Thanks again!

Q

For interest’s sake, I tried a few of the earlier 6.6.x versions of the kernal with slightly better speeds on the earliest 6.6.x version, but still not nearly as fast as the other machines in our fleet get. If anyone has any insight into this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Good afternoon. Wondering if there is a potential solution to this, or if you need further info from me (just tell me what you need, and where to look, and I will get it for you).

Thanks!

@george1421 Hi there. Thanks to both you and @Tom-Elliott for responding. I believe I am on the latest FOS Linux kernel, see screenshot:

Is that not what you are looking for? If I should be looking elsewhere, let me know.

Thanks!

Q

Good morning! We have several Lenovo Neo 50Q Gen 4 machines that we just got. I used one to create a new image - it captured a 40GB image in about 5 minutes. When I send that same image out to any of these new machines it takes 30 minutes. If I send that image to any of our existing machines, it takes 5 minutes or so. I am thinking it must be a NIC driver issue, or some kind of write issue to the SSD or something like that.

Anyone have any ideas? I did look through the forum, but couldn’t find anything applicable.

Thanks!
