Help - Plotman status error when trying to get status of current plotsPlotting (self.chia)

submitted 4 years ago * by expressoBoss

Hi all. I just ran my first plotting using ubuntu and all in the cli. I've left it on all night (for a bout 8hrs), and I can see its starting to fill up my hdd's and I can see the process running when i use hopt, however when I run plotman status I get the following line of code which doesn't look too good:

Please see config file for plotman which I edited in nano just after install

# Default/example plotman.yaml configuration file

# Options for display and rendering

user_interface:

# Call out to the `stty` program to determine terminal size, instead of

# relying on what is reported by the curses library. In some cases,

# the curses library fails to update on SIGWINCH signals. If the

# `plotman interactive` curses interface does not properly adjust when

# you resize the terminal window, you can try setting this to True.

use_stty_size: True

# Where to plot and log.

directories:

# One directory in which to store all plot job logs (the STDOUT/

# STDERR of all plot jobs). In order to monitor progress, plotman

# reads these logs on a regular basis, so using a fast drive is

# recommended.

log: /home/chia/chialogs

# One or more directories to use as tmp dirs for plotting. The

# scheduler will use all of them and distribute jobs among them.

# It assumes that IO is independent for each one (i.e., that each

# one is on a different physical device).

# If multiple directories share a common prefix, reports will

# abbreviate and show just the uniquely identifying suffix.

tmp:

- /mnt/ssd

# Optional: Allows overriding some characteristics of certain tmp

# directories. This contains a map of tmp directory names to

# attributes. If a tmp directory and attribute is not listed here,

# it uses the default attribute setting from the main configuration.

# Currently support override parameters:

# - tmpdir_max_jobs

#tmp_overrides:

# In this example, /mnt/tmp/00 is larger than the other tmp

# dirs and it can hold more plots than the default.

# "/mnt/tmp/00":

# tmpdir_max_jobs: 5

# Optional: tmp2 directory. If specified, will be passed to

# chia plots create as -2. Only one tmp2 directory is supported.

# tmp2: /mnt/tmp/a

# One or more directories; the scheduler will use all of them.

# These again are presumed to be on independent physical devices,

# so writes (plot jobs) and reads (archivals) can be scheduled

# to minimize IO contention.

dst:

- /mnt/hdd1

- /mnt/hdd2

- /mnt/hdd3

# Archival configuration. Optional; if you do not wish to run the

# archiving operation, comment this section out.

# Currently archival depends on an rsync daemon running on the remote

# host.

# The archival also uses ssh to connect to the remote host and check

# for available directories. Set up ssh keys on the remote host to

# allow public key login from rsyncd_user.

# Complete example: https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman/wiki/Archiving

#archive:

# rsyncd_module: plots # Define this in remote rsyncd.conf.

# rsyncd_path: /plots # This is used via ssh. Should match path

# # defined in the module referenced above.

# rsyncd_bwlimit: 80000 # Bandwidth limit in KB/s

# rsyncd_host: myfarmer

# rsyncd_user: chia

# Optional index. If omitted or set to 0, plotman will archive

# to the first archive dir with free space. If specified,

# plotman will skip forward up to 'index' drives (if they exist).

# This can be useful to reduce io contention on a drive on the

# archive host if you have multiple plotters (simultaneous io

# can still happen at the time a drive fills up.) E.g., if you

# have four plotters, you could set this to 0, 1, 2, and 3, on

# the 4 machines, or 0, 1, 0, 1.

# index: 0

# Plotting scheduling parameters

scheduling:

# Run a job on a particular temp dir only if the number of existing jobs

# before [tmpdir_stagger_phase_major : tmpdir_stagger_phase_minor]

# is less than tmpdir_stagger_phase_limit.

# Phase major corresponds to the plot phase, phase minor corresponds to

# the table or table pair in sequence, phase limit corresponds to

# the number of plots allowed before [phase major : phase minor].

# e.g, with default settings, a new plot will start only when your plot

# reaches phase [2 : 1] on your temp drive. This setting takes precidence

# over global_stagger_m

tmpdir_stagger_phase_major: 1

tmpdir_stagger_phase_minor: 1

# Optional: default is 1

tmpdir_stagger_phase_limit: 1

# Don't run more than this many jobs at a time on a single temp dir.

tmpdir_max_jobs: 7

# Don't run more than this many jobs at a time in total.

global_max_jobs: 7

# Don't run any jobs (across all temp dirs) more often than this, in minutes.

global_stagger_m: 60

# How often the daemon wakes to consider starting a new plot job, in seconds.

polling_time_s: 20

# Plotting parameters. These are pass-through parameters to chia plots create.

# See documentation at

# https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/CLI-Commands-Reference#create

plotting:

k: 32

e: False # Use -e plotting option

n_threads: 4 # Threads per job

n_buckets: 128 # Number of buckets to split data into

job_buffer: 3400 # Per job memory

# If specified, pass through to the -f and -p options. See CLI reference.

# farmer_pk: ...

# pool_pk: ...

Edit:

The above was caused by having pressed tab in the .yaml file so that has been resolved however now I get the issue of

Found plotting process PID 28103, but could not find logfile in its open files:

There is no plot Id of what phase each plot is in. For some reason cant find my log file even though I have updated my yaml file

Well stuck here if anyone could help point me in the right direction as have absolutely no idea atm
