Issue Report Environment Operating System: ubuntu CPU Architecture: x86 RAM: 128gb Storage: 20TB Plot Size: default Subspace Deployment Method: separate node and farmer Problem Steps to reproduce Download latest apr gemini-3d node and farmer packages Start node with values as per docs page Start …

Farmers can get stuck at a particular sector and be unable to plot further, this is caused by networking issues preventing farmer from finding some of the pieces of history it needs. We are working on fixing that, but it will take some time.

For anyone curious i have a firewalla fw and by default it blocks all inbound connection attemps so only outbound stateful connections are allowed. Once i opened my server up to the world it started to plot, i did have to then add block rules for ssh etc just to be safe.

Maybe im not waiting long enough. Im getting like 33M plotted per 15min. Still getting the other warning messages.

Would you mind posting the logs in text so i can get a clearer look? appears to be just a warning and nothing critical but i want to make sure.

Thanks for getting these posted! Taking a look it seems you are facing this error here: ProtocolFailure(Refused) when requesting pieces from announcer · Issue #1190 · subspace/subspace · GitHub Looks like this is just a warning, im not seeing any major Errors causing your farmer to stop, correct me…

Farmer doesn’t stop, but it also doesn’t plot. My node isn’t synced yet but i thought i read you could plot while still syncing? Apologies if my assumption is wrong.

Try latest release and report back, please. Also I assume you’re running HDD with such capacity. If that is the case, it will likely be not feasible because consensus is optimized for SSDs and HDDs in most cases will be unable to produce blocks in time. Plotting should still work though.

Its a zfs pool. I am running the apr 14th release, let me try the 18th release and report back.

I think its working. Getting 200MB write to disk in 30m or so. What is the plotting speed supposed to be?

are you running your farmer plots on an HDD or SSD?
