[g4u-help] g4u stops reading HHD at about 50000 MB

[Manuel Beltrandelrio]

Hello and thanks in advance.

 

I'm new to g4u and am facing a problem while uploading the image to the FTP
server.  The command uploaddisk. starts the process very nicely and the
upload progresses steady at about 600 KB/s until it reaches about 5 MB.
Then the upload quits with error 421 timeout.  I've tried three times with
the same results. Is there a limitation in pure-ftp that I don't know about?

 

I'm using the g4u 2.3 CD image on a FreeBSD 7.1 server.  The FTP server is
also running FreeBSD 7.1

 

I'm cloning a Seagate 80GB HHD.

 

 

Does anyone know what is going on here?

[Manuel Beltrandelrio]

Hello all,

I continue to try to ghost a 80 GB Seagate HHD on a FreeBSD system using a
another FreeBSD Pure-FTP server.  The FTP server is configured to use a
dedicated disk with 111 GB of free space. 

The problem I'm having is that the g4u hangs after uploading 62 GB when
using GZIP=9, and 72 GB when using GZIP=1.

The FTP partition is /ftp and it has permissions 777

Does anyone see a problem with the events below?

Here follows the sequence of events on the machine I'm ghosting:

g4u> GZIP=1 uploaddisk n...@192.168.75.150 squidghost.gz
Enter password for n...@192.168.75.150:

No idea here. It shouldn't hang. I've only really used
the FTP servers that come with Solaris and NetBSD, though.
Maybe run ktrace on the FreeBSD machine as soon as the transfer hangs, and 
see what happens? That's not for the faint at heart, though... ;)

[g4u-help] Writing image to the FTP

[Manuel Beltrandelrio]

At what point does g4u start writing the image to the FTP server?

 

I ask this because I see that 41987 MB have already been processed by g4u at
a rate of around 600 KB/s, but nothing has been written to the FTP server
yet.

 

I run df -h before running g4u and found out that the FTP partition had 100
GB available.  After g4u has been running for a while and 41987 MB have
already been processed, I still see 100 GB available in the FTP partition.

 

Thanks,

Manuel
