Situation
After
applying ZDM7SP1HP2 (hot patch 2) or ZDM7SP1HP3 (hot patch 3)
imaging on IDE drives may be slow.
Resolution
Fixed in ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Service Pack 1 Interim Release 3a, available at https://download.novell.com
As a
workaround, and to see if this issue applies, enter the command/bin/hdparm.sat the bash
prompt before taking or restoring an image and see if that improves
the speed.
Additional Information
If partitioning
commands were issued via IMG, DMA access for the IDE drives was
being switched off
