Waiting for finished plot copy when the -w flag is not in use. #802

First of all thanks for this amazing tool!

I have a situation where I have two identical Ubuntu 20.04 Desktops, both running the latest version of MadMax and both plotting temp1 in NVME and temp2 in 128GB DDR4 RAM. Command is also identical, except for minor difference with CPU threads.

One machine starts the copy and then immediately continues with the "crafting plot x out of -1" message, the other machine starts the copy, finishes the copy and only then moves on.

Any idea why this would be an more importantly, how to resolve this? It's slowing down the plotting by around 12 minutes which is a shame, given the incredible speed of 35 minutes I'm getting from the plotting process itself!

Thanks!

this seemed to have resolved itself after a reboot of one of the linux machines. Hence marking it as solved though I do still think it may be worth looking into as I can't pinpoint why this would occur.
