@jxer Can you retry with the new 4.1.1 version so that I can have the underlying Windows error code.

Have you picked the x86 or the x64 version?

bhamon commented 7 years ago

@jxer The error code 87 is for "Invalid param", so lets check it: https://mega.nz/#!vNsiGZJZ!LrddYAfc--sdEQ99xs8SkwEQJESE7ow-hIKLpxgmu4E

@jxer The value seems good to me. Also I can't reproduce on my computer...

bhamon commented 7 years ago

@jxer Do you have enough contigous space on your disk to plot that file? Can you try with a smaller size?

jxer commented 7 years ago

it plots fine on 4.0.3

same error

@jxer Yes, but there is no pre-allocation on 4.0.3 for the direct writing strategy. So the output file can be heavily fragmented (sparse file). You can use a defragmentation tool to see the physical state of your drive.

jxer commented 7 years ago

your expectation is a 0 disk? the drive is empty its a 2tb drive

bhamon commented 7 years ago

@jxer I've searched everywhere without luck. On burst-team someone experienced the same error as you. What file system do you use? NTFS? FAT32? ExFAT?

jxer commented 7 years ago

Ext4 over cifs

bhamon commented 7 years ago

@jxer Ok, that could be the root cause. Your setup is a bit tricky. You should consider plotting in direct mode on local disks (500GB SSDs are great for that) then transferring the resulting files to the remote disks afterwards.
