[BUG] Error 1. Retrying in five minutes.

[Alexey018n]

All time, time by time a have this error. I have 1Tb Disk for farming. I try farm with another PC buy have error 1. Plotting not go up after 1%. What i can do with this chia coins?

I can repair plotting.
The problem was resolved by changing the carrier letter.
Initially, 1 disk was split into 2 (X, Y), where X was temporary, Y was permanent. Added a second Z drive. And it allowed the system to run normally.
But the synchronization has been going on for 20 hours already = (
How many times need for synchronization k=32, 101,4 GiB?

I have have also been getting this error (Error 1. Retrying in five minutes.) since upgrading to Version 1.2.0, although, I get past the 1% point. I have plenty of disk space, but have been unable to add a single plot using the new version.
I will try on another computer when I get the chance.

To be more specific: My current plot is frozen at 49% complete. It has been throwing the error for 2.5 hours. My Temp drive has 530 GB free.
This is the 3rd plot to fail in this way. I did not record the details of the previous 2 failures, but, plotting was around 35% complete in those cases.

@Alexey018n could you provide the actual error message from the log please ?

I'm starting to think this might be a drive beginning to fail, and the new version of Chia is just a coincidence. Anyway, I ran another plot. This one failed at 62%. Here is the last page or so of the log file:

it really depends on your setup, and how you configure the plotters use of drives - normally, it would take 6-12 hours on an SSD, and 8-24 hours on HDD
