It’s the same topic I posted here other day. I’ve had same issue when one of my disk got faulty.

> In one of my PC’s, when there is a fault on the disk (disk not recognized/ready), the farmer on that PC just stop/crash. So can this be fixed in next release? I’d like to suggest the farmer will still run as usual and it knows to skip (exclude) that broken plot/disk until the next restart. At the same time, an ERROR message will display in the log about the broken plot/disk so people is made aware and take action asap. Thanks,
