My apologies, there was indeed another bug. I tested the fix for it and it does work for me with a cluster: Snapshot build · subspace/subspace@a1f9bb0 · GitHub

Farmer: Snapshot build #365
Node: Snapshot build #365

It appears there’s an ongoing issue with sectors not completing as expected. Previously, I had no trouble keeping up with replotting, but since the latest release, the process has been falling further behind. Some metrics indicate that it’s now taking over an hour per sector, compared to the previous 10-15 minute range. Additionally, logs suggest that some completed sectors are still being discarded (Failed to plot sector).

Those warnings have the same source: NATS connection breaks, sectors are not written fully and time out. More detailed logs from NATS server also say that client simply stopped reading messages so server waited for a bit and then simply closed dead connection.

I still do not see an obvious reason why this would happen and after reading through a lot of upstream tickets think rt: make the LIFO slot in the multi-threaded scheduler stealable · Issue #4941 · tokio-rs/tokio · GitHub might be what we’re hitting here under load. Assuming that is the case, we can try to use a workaround introduced in rt: add unstable option to disable the LIFO slot by carllerche · Pull Request #4936 · tokio-rs/tokio · GitHub, which this test build enables: Snapshot build · subspace/subspace@ceec8a4 · GitHub

that it finally works as expected.

Farmer: Snapshot build #367
Node: Snapshot build #367

Performance seems to be an improvement over Snapshot #365, but less performant in plotting compared to jul-05.
I haven’t had enough expired sectors to notice this before, as I have quite a backlog at the moment. However, it seems that some AboutToExpire sectors are taking precedence over expired sectors. Over approximately 13 hours of logging, AboutToExpire sectors decreased while there was a backlog of expired sectors to replot. This happened with all farmers. The only plausible explanation, aside from some odd logic, is that AboutToExpire sectors are progressing to expired before I can replot them.

Sectors between farms are independent. So if you have expired in one farm and about to expire in another farm then there isn’t really a specific ordering between them, ordering only exists within the same farm right now.

Timeouts seem to be exactly the same, so the conclusion is it didn’t really help much. I’ll have to think some more about this, not yet sure what else to do.

For now I’d probably recommend moving NATS server to the same machine as plotter, this way you will not have to do extra roundtrips over external network interfaces (all messages are flowing through NATS server, even between components on the same machine).

I’ll be looking for solutions to this in the meantime with upstream developers.

vexr · July 13, 2024, 3:19am

I should have been clearer. This issue is occurring on a per farmer basis and has also been observed across all farmers. It’s entirely possible that sectors are expiring (AboutToExpire > Expired) faster than I can clear the backlog at the moment. However, based on the counts, it seems this may not necessarily be the case, which is why I shared this information.

Will do, thanks.

nazar-pc · July 13, 2024, 3:46am

I was talking about individual farms, not farmers. Until farm has finished one loop of replotting it doesn’t discover more expired or about to expire sectors, at least current implementation doesn’t.

This makes sense and clarifies the current conditions I am experiencing. Thank you for the additional explanation.
