performance issue

[schaapmansz]

when i want to put an image back to a "HP dc7800 sff" it goes rather slow and off sync!!
Off sync meaning... one pc is at 22,89% while another is 22,34%
Normally this is identicall and you see the percentages running continously.
when i start to put the image back i get the next message:

HDIO_SET_DMA failed: OPeration not permitted
multcount = 1 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
using_dma = 0 (off)
Warning!!! Failed to turn on harddisk "/dev/hda" DMA.... The clone performance might be NOT good..

Is this the reason why it goes slow?
Does this has anything to do with SATA versus IDE?
Can i do something about this performance issue?

best regards!

Normally this kind of issue is on kernel. You can try to use the latest kernel. It's easier to use the latest GNU/Linux distribution to solve this problem.
You did not mentioned you are using Clonezilla live or Clonezilla server edition. You did not mention the GNU/Linux distribution and version you are using, either. If it's Clonezilla server edition, maybe it's a good idea to follow this to provide more info:
