[help] [NVME] Error 1. Retrying in five minutes

See original GitHub issue

Describe the issue When phase 2/4 at table three or so, Chia CLI throws this error

Only wrote 968474 of 1048570 bytes at offset 317716710 to "/falcon1/chia-tmp/plot-k32-2021-05-05-17-29-8409e4afa392ee01e019c080ff4eed5007cb1d619f4f3276e67224aecadb4ddc.plot.p2.t3.sort_bucket_009.tmp"with length 318685184. Error 1. Retrying in five minutes.

When running sudo dmesg, the last message was:

may 05 19:06:50 PC-PINNACLE1 kernel: perf: interrupt took too long (2507 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 7975

Note: this kernel message was 2 hours ago before Chia’s error 1.

To Reproduce

cd /route/to/your/chiaCLI
. ./activate
chia plots create -k 32 -b 3390 -u 128 -r 2 -t /ruta/temporal -d /ruta/final -n 1 -f yourFarmerKey -p yourPoolKey

Indeed, this error happen with my laptop (i7 10750H + Intel 660P as tmp drive + Chia GUI) and my PC (Ryzen 5 1600 + Adata Falcon 512GB as tmp drive + Chia CLI). This post is created with Ryzen 5 as example. The error is the same: Error 1 and “trying in five minutes”.

This is really anoying because my new NVME has 4TB written but didn’t finish any plot because of this. I don’t have a clue why NVME refuses plotting…

Expected behavior Finished plotting process without errors.

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Damn, I bought an Adata Swordfish of 1TB for the same purpose and I am encountering the same error.

lol, that nvme is my plotting disk (for store temp files) and doesn’t have space available. WHY? K32 occupies only 239GiB… or that says the Chia official documentation.

Removing older tmp files seems solve this 😃

EDIT1: Well, just for documenting this: Adata Falcon 512GB isn’t for this task. Keeps failing with air cooling too 😦

EDIT2: Today, Chia just works with Adata Falcon. Why? I don’t know haha.

PD: If you’re using Linux or Windows, I’m pretty sure isn’t a failure of the OS itself. My PC had Linux and recently switch to similar PC with Windows and the NVME works OK in both, despite my first attemps to make a plot.
