@sebastian-roth In the back of my mind I was knowing that its something at a lower layer … I am the only admin on this network so I dont know how it self destructed from 1 day to the next, might consider a windows update, but moving dhcp off windows would rule that out. Will try a pcap.

@totalimpact See if you can get a good image capture with 11. I’m not saying this is the problem, but the higher the compression with zstd the more memory it requires because it needs to hold larger chunks of the image in ram memory.

The other option it could be is that we need to increase the amount of virtual hard drive space for FOS linux. But first lets see if lowering the compression ratio will help.

Well, that url is exactly what I needed!! however I gave up and made a new vm with Fog 1.5, it was able to image the 7040 with no issue… I just didnt want to deal with the partimage vs partclone thing, but it is looking good now.
