Writing error during plotting (Error 1)

[mattuso83]

Hi everybody,
I'm having an issue during the plotting process which suddenly stops giving the error "Only wrote x of y bytes at offset.. Error 1"
At the end of the error message it is also written "Retrying in five minutes", which is what happens, but the plotting doesn't restart despite the disc is connected and running.

I'm plotting 2 plots at the same time, the disc is external, connected via USB-C, it has more than 1 Tb free and all the power saving option have been disabled.
Unplugging and plugging back the usb cable didn't help.

The following is the system I'm using.
OS: Windows 10
OS Version/Flavor: 20H2
CPU: Intel i5-8350U

I've already successfully plotted a plot a couple of days ago with the same system.
Now I've already closed the GUI client and restarted plotting, but I'm afraid it can happen again.
Can you please help?

I am having same issues of paralleled plotting when I run chia CLI on multiple windows PowerShell.

In the last days I've plotted only 1 block at the time and this issue didn't occur.

I am having the same problem. I've been plotting chia for about a week now on my Sandisk 500gb external NVMe SSD and have learned a lot. I was plotting two k-32 plots at once with less than 465gb available by staggering the start times and it was going good for a little while. Eventually I couldn't plot them both at the same time even though I had space available. The same error showed up. I started trying to plot only one and that didn't work. I'll keep updates on my situation.

Yesterday and today the issue reoccurred: suddenly the communication with the disk was lost.
I understand this can be due to several reasons, but I was wondering if the GUI client is supposed to continue to plot when the communication with the disk is re-established

I have also this error but for me I think its a bug, in GUI you can set a first disk and a second disk, the thing is sometime he use only first disk or second disk or both, most of time he just use second disk i want displace the files but I can't
