Hello AlexBCT

 

Thanks a lot for your reply.

  • No, I haven't tried to limit the speed. Its certainly worth a try and might give me a hint where to look for the root cause
  • The partitions have been checked and I have enough space left for the ISO (many times over actually). So I think that shouldnt be the problem unless F5 is not showing the correct sizes of the partitions on CLI
  • Yes, I have taken a qkview. However, as I don't exactly know what I am looking for I am not entirely sure I am missing something. Nothing was obviously faulty or an issue.
  • I am uploading via Management-IP. Unfortunately trying to use the selfip will not be easy as I have no real access to that network (and a file on a server that would make me able to reproduce the issue). Thanks though, it might be worth a try once I can actually test it.
