Mining Troubleshooting
Bellman Lockfile
The Bellman lockfile is created to lock a GPU for a process. This bug can occur when this file isn't properly cleaned up:
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
lotus-storage-miner info
# WARN main lotus-storage-miner/main.go:73 failed to get api endpoint: (/Users/myrmidon/.lotusstorage) %!w(*errors.errorString=&{API not running (no endpoint)}):
If you see this, that means your Lotus Storage Miner isn't ready yet. You need to finish syncing the chain.
Your computer is too slow
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.
