So, I am having a random issue and I am not sure why...

Every once in a while on my server machine, one of the instances that is on my G drive (miner instance) crashes out. Just closes. I don't know why it is doing this. It is only on that one drive, the other miner on the other drive is fine, and the miner on the mapped drive on the same server, mapped to my desktop is fine too. It's only the G drive miner, and randomly...


Any Ideas or suggestions on how to get it to stop? Thanks!

I think my question got overlooked, can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!
How much ram do you have? If you're running too many jvms with not enough ram on windows, sometimes windows pops a box asking you to close something, then if you don't it auto-kills something. I have a comp with 4G ram running 2 miners that tends to kill 1 miner on occasion, and on another comp my wallet seems to have gotten auto-killed about when I left for work today, causing me to lose about 9-10 hours of mining time.

Best suggestion if lack of ram is the case is lower the -Xmx values, or add ram.

This can also be triggered by scheduled services starting up, which increase ram usage, so check the scheduler if anything is set to run.

Memory amount on that server is 32GB, currently being used is 57% of that total, the DNS server being the biggest utilization.

However, this server did crash last night and forced me to reboot it. Therefore clearing the memory. The miner still crashed one time after that restart.

My best guess is that it has something to do with the virtual machines running on the system, but I am not sure.

ALSO....

I checked the event viewer and there was nothing java related at all. I didn't want to keep quoting the other quote, as it was getting far too large and soon it will take a page per reply. lol.

If there is nothing obvious then you will probably have to wait for the pause to catch the error.

with what I can gather it sounds like you are pushing it on a pretty important server. (DNS etc) just make sure your not pushing it to hard  Grin

I don't know then. All crashes I've seen have been directly related to ram starvation.

Haha, agreed. After doing this I thought that a better idea would have been to put it on a VM... but it's already done now, so whatever. I think it'll be fine once the initial plotting is done, then the resources of the miner are very low.

I will let you know what the next crash on the pause results. Thanks!

NP. Just let us know. Its very very likely that future users will encounter similar issues so we should get it figured out.

This was not a mining block reward but looks like a transaction was sent on that block.
EDIT: This seems to be my own transaction of 10029 burst (was playing with the wallet).

So, what just happened ?

EDIT: ah, just found out this was just sent along the block!

So, I am having a random issue and I am not sure why...

Every once in a while on my server machine, one of the instances that is on my G drive (miner instance) crashes out. Just closes. I don't know why it is doing this. It is only on that one drive, the other miner on the other drive is fine, and the miner on the mapped drive on the same server, mapped to my desktop is fine too. It's only the G drive miner, and randomly...


Any Ideas or suggestions on how to get it to stop? Thanks!

I think my question got overlooked, can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!

Is it just the miner that stops or is it a plot generation too?

Try adding the word pause on a line after everything else on your bat file

java -Xmxblah blah blah blah
pause

When it dies it will pause the command prompt and ask you to press a button to shut down. This way you can see what the error is that is killing the process.

Once you get that it is much easier to help diagnose the problem.

Edit:

I am assuming your on windows.

Yea, I have already added pause to it, and am awaiting the next time it crashes out.... It is only the miner, and only 1 of the 2 miners running on the system. The one on the other drive never crashes. Very strange. The plot generation is fine on both drives.

bad sectors of your HDD?

I really don't think so... well, I guess, at least I hope not... This drive, as with almost all of the drives/components in the system in question, are almost brand new WD NAS drives. Do you think that bad sectors would cause only the MINER to crash and not the PLOTTER? It would seem to me that it would be the other way around, but I've been known to be wrong before! hehe.

How is your NAS attached ?


I think you may have misunderstood, or I may have used the wrong context... The drives are NAS drives, but they are physically inside the server, connected like any other drive with SATA and power. Just regular drives, the RED drives from WD, intended for NAS use.

This makes it hard to say what is causing the crash.
We need the error or check the windows event viewer for anything suspicious.

i was/am having this happen to me. started about 3 days ago. running fine for 4.5 days and then random crashes. my single plot size was approach 2TB at the time and my "-Xmx" was limiting it to 750m. I'm wondering whethe it's a mem issue so have upped it to 1024m to see if it makes a diff.

i did ask the question here whether there is a log file i can look at the miner logs to to see if it reports why it shutsdown.

Once you get that it is much easier to help diagnose the problem.

Edit:

I am assuming your on windows.

Yea, I have already added pause to it, and am awaiting the next time it crashes out.... It is only the miner, and only 1 of the 2 miners running on the system. The one on the other drive never crashes. Very strange. The plot generation is fine on both drives.

bad sectors of your HDD?

I really don't think so... well, I guess, at least I hope not... This drive, as with almost all of the drives/components in the system in question, are almost brand new WD NAS drives. Do you think that bad sectors would cause only the MINER to crash and not the PLOTTER? It would seem to me that it would be the other way around, but I've been known to be wrong before! hehe.

How is your NAS attached ?


I think you may have misunderstood, or I may have used the wrong context... The drives are NAS drives, but they are physically inside the server, connected like any other drive with SATA and power. Just regular drives, the RED drives from WD, intended for NAS use.

This makes it hard to say what is causing the crash.
We need the error or check the windows event viewer for anything suspicious.

i was/am having this happen to me. started about 3 days ago. running fine for 4.5 days and then random crashes. my single plot size was approach 2TB at the time and my "-Xmx" was limiting it to 750m. I'm wondering whethe it's a mem issue so have upped it to 1024m to see if it makes a diff.

i did ask the question here whether there is a log file i can look at the miner logs to to see if it reports why it shutsdown.

thats actually an excellent point. If the plot files are two big you may need more ram to run the miner.

How big (total) is the plot on that drive?

Miner doesn't have a log file, and really could use a bit of work.

Same problem. Anyone know How to handle large size plot with out crashing the miner ?

So, I am having a random issue and I am not sure why...

Every once in a while on my server machine, one of the instances that is on my G drive (miner instance) crashes out. Just closes. I don't know why it is doing this. It is only on that one drive, the other miner on the other drive is fine, and the miner on the mapped drive on the same server, mapped to my desktop is fine too. It's only the G drive miner, and randomly...


Any Ideas or suggestions on how to get it to stop? Thanks!

I think my question got overlooked, can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!

Is it just the miner that stops or is it a plot generation too?

Try adding the word pause on a line after everything else on your bat file

java -Xmxblah blah blah blah
pause

When it dies it will pause the command prompt and ask you to press a button to shut down. This way you can see what the error is that is killing the process.

@BurstBurst:
What is plot file size and your available RAM and your run_mine command ?
