[Casper] EXTREMELY slow imaging

[John Wetter]

In your AFP server, add more memory, and then some more memory...  I'd say 8GB is a minimum.  Of course, if this is only occasional as you elude to, then it might be a server utilization issue, even if the server is doing a bunch of SUS downloads, or something is running with errors so it's logging like crazy.  Also, is it new enough hardware to be all gigabit?  As Tom mentioned, a really long image time or a bad image can also be a signal that the HDD is about to completely flake out.

Thanks,
John

Hi all, long time listener, first time caller...

I've been using Casper for about a month now, we've completely
migrated our imaging processes over to JSS/Casper Imaging, and for the
most part everything is awesome.

Except that every once in a while I'll get a system that is slow as
Christmas in taking a new image. This makes no sense to me at all
since I'm on a gigabit connection to my server, and it's the ONLY
system being imaged. I suppose there could be heavy network overhead,
but I doubt it since it's the summer and nearly everyone is out of the
office.

Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, did you find a way
around it?

Thanks,
