The mystery of the shrinking plotting space #22

Open Beddhist opened 6 years ago

Beddhist commented 6 years ago

I have 8 x 4TB disks in 2 NASs, accessed via smb. When I run Xplotter without -n it correctly works out the nonces to plot the entire space, but then fails with "Not enough free space, reduce "nonces"... (code = 59)".

The disks report as 3.56TB free and I was able to plot 13.9 million nonces, leaving about 2-300 GB free. However, as time passes and I plot more drives the space Xplotter will let me plot reduces. The next one was 13.8 mio, now I can't even plot 12 mio any more.

Can we debug this problem, please?

Update: in many cases, the plot file is created and not deleted when xplotter terminates with this error. I can now add the -n parameter with the number of nonces from the plot file name and it will happily plot the entire file.
