I can run chia for several hours with no problems, then all of a sudden i get a log of these errors and bad look up times.
I am using external USB hard drives either connected via a USB hub or directly into PC. Is anyone else having these problems?
Here is what i see in my log.

I think this may actually solve this issue. Last night I did exactly this by accident and it’s been running for the last 14 hours problem free.
If this is the case then my hunch of a chia software issue is correct.
When I originally installed the external hard drives they were given a drive Letter and I also mounted them as a folder. When they were full of plots I would delete the drive Letter and point chia towards the folder I had mounted the drive in.
Recently I’ve given half of my drives letters so that I could convert them to NFT plots. So these letters will almost certainly be different from the original letter assigned to it the first time it was plugged in. Last night I deleted all of the drive letters and just left the folder address. Then re added the folder location back into the gui/config yamyl.
At every stage I am careful to make sure the plot directory is up to date in the chia gui/config yamyl.
Either way deleting the config yamyl, and re adding the plot folder seems to have solved the issue.
I’m not saying 100% yet as it’s only been 14 hours, but that’s the longest it’s gone without issue for weeks and weeks.
Yes, I fixed mine.
Some were part files that didn’t fully copy to hdd, so the last file added wouldn’t quite fit, I deleted those, my others were from a dying drive, so I removed that.
