Issue Report

After mounting the NFS or SSHFS, launch the subspace farmer. But failed to start. If i use local disk everything is fine.

Environment

  • Operating System:
    Ubuntu 22.04 x64
  • Pulsar/Advanced CLI/Docker:
    Run Subspace farmer directly.

Problem

After mounting the NFS shared folder, launch the subspace farmer to use that folder. But failed to start. If i use local disk everything is fine. SSHFS also cannot farming, block at libp2p_swarm step.

Looks like you have issue with Linux permissions, you need to make sure location is writable for the user. I know some users tried to use NFS, but I wouldn’t bet on SSHFS working well.
