Description Levente Farkas 2016-11-30 08:55:46 UTC 
in the previous version 6.7 the disk formating was much faster then in the current 6.8 version. the time changed from 17 sec to 15 minutes (not second)!!! it seems the differences in these 2 directories :
6.8/os/x86_64/images
6.8/os/x86_64/isolinux
if i overwrite these directories for 6.7 (eg into a pxe install directory) then everything still working but much faster as i wrote the time above.


Just add a few big disk and select it as one big (ie full disk) partition and select to format them to ext4.
