Error reading file
-
@gpedro miner can't create any files at drive (only logs, if "UseLog" : true).
once i had the same errors when i had external USB2 drive. It caused by losing connection to USB - windows made my drive to sleep mode.
Now I have USB3 external drives - works fine.

-
@gpedro : Yeap, since my last post, miner working ok, the default one. On another system I tested the AVX miner and it come up with same error.
I hope someone can fix this, however I will use the default one regardless the message in miner which advise me to run AVX version.

@Jumper your CPU type? (or name of laptop)
-
@Blago : Dell Latitude E6230, i7 CPU with 16GB RAM
-
@Blago :
That might be the issue.
I have now performed the following so will check if issue persist:
(Found these steps online)
- Scroll to the right and type 'Power Options' in the search field and click on it.
- Click 'Change plan setting' on your chosen plan.
- Click 'Change advanced power setting' on your chosen plan.
- Find 'USB settings' and open.
- Find 'USB selective suspend setting' and change it to disabled.

@Blago So probably is some connection error to google in my case, and has nothing to do with the space on the clouds, this is very possible since NetDrive has released a lot of improvements with their updates, maybe i thought it was some issue with the filled drives but it can be that the new drives don't gave any error because of NetDrive improvements xD
-
For me is still the same issue. And I am sure is not USB issue since I am getting error for the C drive as well which is the system drive with a small plot file on it. Is there a way to debug this to see what causing this error?
-
Check the power settings and ensure your hard drives are not set to sleep after X minutes. If its happening on local C drive too this could be the reason.
-
@RiskyFire : Thanks. I did checked all power setting including the advanced one, so nothing should go to sleep mode. Not even the screen.
I am also testing another miner (burst-miner-r4-win64) to see if there is any differences.
-
Could be the cable or the HDD itself.
-
check the health of your Hard drive. Use HDTune or whatever HDD checker you have.
-
@RiskyFire : Thank you man, you are the best. That was the issue. I had to click on the advanced settings and there was an option to spin down the drives after 20 min. So I disabled all options to sleep/spin down .... and issue fixed.
For everyone who having similar issue:
1: Open Power Options
2: Switch to High Performance then Change plan settings
3: Click Change Advanced power settings
4: Disable all options under USB , SLEEP and Hard DiskThanks again.

Well, after more that 12 hours, issue is back. Does anyone know how to debug this? So to see what exactly cannot be read to have a kind of more specific error message?
I will try to use Linux box to see if that makes any better.
If not, then I guess Burst mining is over for me as I do not see the point in investing time and money (HDD) if I cannot debug the issue :(

@Jumper
I'd make extended version of miner http://www.filedropper.com/minermod (download, copy files from archive to miner's folder, run miner-v1.160705_mod.exe)
now you will see "error ReadFile. code = xxx"
after, make screenshot and post hereerror codes https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681381(v=vs.85).aspx

Thank you Blago. I downloaded and currently running it. As usual, no error right after I start the miner so I will give you the screenshot as soon as I have an error.
Thanks.

@Jumper this might help
http://superuser.com/questions/309689/how-to-keep-external-usb-drives-from-sleeping-windows-7Another option might be to schedule a batch file to run every 15 min that accesses each drive just to stop it falling asleep
(not pretty i know but it should work)
batch filedir c:
dir d:
dir e:
dir f:
dir g:\

Ok, that was fast. almost an hour and error showed up again.
The error is: 23
Data error (cyclic redundancy check)
Here is the screenshot when miner started:
And here is when the error started to show up:
The drives are error free based on chkdsk
Sometime the errors are related to all 4 drive I have, sometime none of them sometime 1 or two of them. So that is strange for me.
Thanks.
-
Thanks. I tested this option as well. There is a software called nosleephdd which write a file every set of time to keep the drives awake.
So the issue I have is definitely not related to hdd sleep.
-
@Jumper chkdsk might not be giving you the full picture. test your drives with the tool below, it might reveal more info regarding your drives.

I installed it and this is what shown for my G derive:
and the bottom part of the list:
Do you see anything there which can be the issue?
