I have found that a harvester can handle a very large amount of plots … if they are all on the same device. If the harvester has to close a connection to a device and open a connection to another device to continue it’s query, that is when things go badly. For example, if you have a group of 1000 plots on an attached storage array and then another 1000 on a NAS device. If you put those 2000 plots on one harvester, there will be a problem. But if all 2000 were on one device or the other, no problem. I eventually just setup a harvester for each device. And those harvesters can all run on the same system. You just can’t group the plots on one harvester. See the thread below from back when I did all this testing. Hope this helps.
