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.
Yea, I know it's difficult, usually I could tell what the issue was right away, but in this case, I'm simply not sure. This server has virtual machines running on it, DNS server, VPN, FTP, HTTP, etc etc, so it's got a ton going on... If you know of something in particular that may help you help me narrow it down, anything would be appreciated. Thanks!
So far it hasn't crashed since I added pause to the batch... so hopefully it just won't anymore, but it happened at least 8 times, so I don't think it will magically disappear.
Have you glanced through the event viewer log?
