possible error codes while plotting? #127

Hi,

New to this so take it easy on me :)

I have a 5950x CPU with 3090 RTX, 128GB DDR4 RAM @3266 and im using 2 980 pro NVME as my temp drives, and plotting out to a 28tb WD USB DUO, which i fill up and then move to multiple NAS. Plotting was between 6 mins to 8 mins and everything was fine (I was using a slower NVME). I then put in the 2nd 980 pro for my temp drive and times came down to 4-5mins.

Q1- I now see the following messages in some plots: ans_encode_sym(): index out of bounds: 19577 OR ans_encode_sym(): index out of bounds: 1080246370 OR WritePark(): ans_length (2889) > max_ans_length (2558) (y = 210, i = 6274)

I googled and did a search but no luck. Does anyone know if these are error messages that will make the plots useless or something that is harmless and can be ignored?

Q2- I'm not overclocking the 3090, the Ram G.Skill 3200, which will only let me overclock to 3266, anything higher causes the computer to crash (I'm not sure if it's a motherboard or RAM problem) but could that be causing the above issue.

Any help is appreciated

These can happen sometimes and it's normal, only if you see like 100 or more per plot it's an issue.

It could cause this issue as well yes, too high RAM or VRAM overclocks can produce invalid plots.

ans_encode_sym(): index out of bounds: 1080246370 OR

This high number is unusual and could be caused by RAM issues yes.

Mate, your a legend....thank you so much!

I'll reduce the RAM a little and hopefully make the plotting process a little more stable
