One of my node went out of sync for no reason when a farmer with all finished plots went to replotting phase all at once. Below is the node’s log. It seems the farmer was disconnected and connected all over again, causing the node to go out of sync. ▶ Summary

This happens to both of my nodes every time that a replotting starts. 90% of the time the node will restart within 30 minutes. For that 10% I usually kill the node after about 45-60 minutes (unless it happened while I was sleeping) and restart it. Within 5-10 minutes of the node restart it is ba…

Same with me. My node had 40 peers but it just went out of sync. I believe this is very critical bug that the team should look into ASAP.

Yes probably. When I first saw your post, I thought it’s because you’re located in China. So I didn’t follow up. My case, the signal is when a farmer with 100% plotted. So when replot is triggered, it triggered replot for all farms. I was able to capture the node’s log during its out of sync. The s…

It has nothing to do with the region; do not be misled by others. In China, many blockchain nodes can operate normally.

This seems to be related to large number of farmers connected to the same node. It wasn’t really designed for this and there are likely bottlenecks there that blow up when new segment is archived. I’m not planning to address this before we do Substrate upgrade (likely next release) and then farming …

Noted. So we won’t fix it since we plan to build something new for big farm that has the design to resolve it. This makes sense. But why with current node-farmer connection, this only happens when the replot is triggered? I’ve been farming perfectly for several days. And boom, I have that farmer wi…

Thanks. However please note that from the node’s log I’ve shared. The disconnect/connect happened for only 1 farmer and this is the one that has 100% plot completed. From your explanation above "farmers will start bombarding node with request for newly archived pieces", why the connect/disconnect d…
