## Issue Report

### Environment

- **Operating System: ubuntu 22.04**
- **Advanced CLI**

### Problem

```auto
2025-08-11T08:54:43.669965Z ERROR subspace_farmer::commands::cluster::farmer: Farm errored and stopped farm_index=4 error=Failed to get segment header: Failed to download segment headers 614..1614 from node: request timed out: deadline has elapsed

```

I checked the historical logs, and the log contents are all this error message. What is causing this problem?

Is this content related to node? It doesn’t seem so. I am currently using a cluster environment.

Can you provide start commands please? Which version are you running? And is there anything in the other cluster component’s logs?

I am currently using the latest version, “mainnet-2025-jul-14.” Some of the farmers in my cluster have this issue, while other nodes are functioning normally. I am wondering if there is a problem with the solid-state drive.

It sounds possible if the issue is apparent on only one machine. We need more information to investigate on a deeper level. Start commands and full logs would be a solid start.
