If the computer or hard drives go to sleep during the plotting process, the plotting fails and you will need to start over. The Chia plotting process may take many hours to complete. Future versions of Chia will check for unsupported drives, but for now it's up to each user to check their drive format. Do not use drives with FAT formatting (FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32) or else plotting will fail.
To plot successfully requires drives formatted to support large files e.g. For Chia versions prior to 1.3.5, only Python 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 are supportedĬhia plot files are at least 108GB in size (for K32).Starting with Chia version 1.3.5, Python 3.10 is supported.The minimum supported specs are that of the Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB model Plots from both Beta 8 and newer should work on mainnet.
