plotman keeps running plots pass limit

tmpdir_stagger_phase_major: 1
tmpdir_stagger_phase_minor: 2
tmpdir_stagger_phase_limit: 2

tmpdir_max_jobs: 8
global_max_jobs: 8
global_stagger_m: 90
polling_time_s: 20

This is my current config, only have 1 tmp and 1 dest set, no overrides/archive

After running “plotman plot” it shows that it started running 1 plot after 20 seconds, it spawns another one.

based on settings, it should no longer spawn anymore, but instead it keeps spawning more (I know I have only set major 1 and minor 2, but the 2 plots have definitely not reach beyond that stage in 40 seconds) and while checking for plotman status, nothing is showing up.

I am running ubuntu 20.04

I am suspecting it doesnt know how many plots it has ran because the plotman status is not showing anything… but I dont know why it is not showing anything

No, I’m running debian without desktop environment, so I never used any guy installer. Only the github instructions

Let’s control the total process and thread count directly if that is what we want. The phase limit is a very confusing way to do that. We already have a global process limit. I have considered a global thread limit but have not implemented it yet.
