make sure you clean out any previous failed attempts .tmp files. failed plots leave behind their .tmp files in the temp directory

zerovski commented 2 years ago

Yes I did that! That's not the problem! The drive was formatted.

loppefaaret commented 2 years ago

can you replicate the issue ? also, which plotter are you using ? chiapos ?

Yes I can replicate it. It happens every time I try to plot on a 320gb hard drive. I'm using chiapos plotter.

assuming it is formatted as NTFS - do you by any chance have folder compression enabled on the folder that is being used as temp directory ? any chance you could try to describe the settings you are using when it seemingly is running out of space ? before starting a plot, how much free space is reported on the filesystem ?

zerovski commented 2 years ago

Yes, it is formatted as NTFS without folder compression. It's an HDD, not an SSD. The system reports 297GB free. I plot with Chia Proof of Space 1.0.6, k32 plot, in queue with bitfield disabled (it's old hardware). You can see the rest of the settings in the prints i send. I'm trying to plot now, when it gets to the error i'll sent the message it shows!

thank you very much for the detailed report - one final request: when it ends up stuck - could you perhaps try and open up a PowerShell window, and switch to E:\ and list the dir ?

E:
dir

and either copy paste it into a .txt file and attach, or just simply paste it into a message here - it will show me which files are left behind also if you could add the plot .log file, it should be stored under you users folder: ~\.chia\mainnet\plotter\*.log from this latest attempt

Hi! No problem, i think this are the files you asked. Thank you!

that is absolutely perfect - thank you very much for data you submitted

zerovski commented 2 years ago

No problem! If you need any more data, just tell!

Hi! Any news on this?

hi there, is the temp file location a mapped usb as ready boost normally appears for usb or plug in usb this may not work correctly and be the issue, only a guess since no one else has responded recently. Try using a spare hard drive as the temp space for building then copy to location to farm.

Hi! Thank you for your input, but if i understood correctly, that's not the issue here. The temp location it's a physical drive, SATA HDD, with ready boost already disabled.

Hi there, ok in that case make sure that all hidden files on the drive are being shown.

In windows another option to make sure of is to disable shadow copy for a drive. https://www.maketecheasier.com/free-up-drive-space-by-removing-shadow-copies/ This link be helpful to check if it enabled or disabled for a drive.

alginnon commented 2 years ago

Hi there, To find out exactly what's taking up space try this to investigate the folder location https://www.fosshub.com/WinDirStat.html it should be useful
