The setup below is a minimal example for sealing 32 GiB sectors on Lotus:
* 3 TB of hard drive space.
* 8 to 12 core CPU
* 256 GB of RAM
* 8 core CPU
* 128 GB of RAM
## TestNet discoveries
* 256GB **NVMe** Swap on an SSD for anyone that has 128GB RAM to avoid out of memory issues while mining.

# Mining Troubleshooting
```sh
mining block failed: computing election proof: github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/miner.(*Miner).mineOne
```
This bug occurs when the storage miner can't acquire the `bellman.lock`. To fix it you need to stop the `lotus-storage-miner` and remove `/tmp/bellman.lock`
## Your miner is not ready
```sh

If you see this, that means your **Lotus Storage Miner** isn't ready yet.
## Your computer is too slow
```sh
CAUTION: block production took longer than the block delay. Your computer may not be fast enough to keep up
```
If you see this, that means your computer is too slow and your blocks are not included in the chain, and you will not receive any rewards.

## Running out of storage
```
lotus-storage-miner pledge-sector
# No space left on device (os error 28)
```
If you see this, that means `pledge-sector` wrote too much data to `$TMPDIR` which by default is the root partition (This is common for Linux setups). Usually your root partition does not get the largest partition of storage so you will need to change the environment variable to something else.
