Not found Plots?

I’m having the same issue. I tried completely uninstalling chia, but saving the db. I have two drives with about 21 plots between them. When I run chia plots show I get:

2021-07-01T23:54:26.708  chia.plotting.check_plots        : INFO     Loading plots in config.yaml using plot_tools loading code

When I run chia start farmer the CLI shows:
Loaded a total of 0 plots of size 0.0 TiB, in 0.10553669929504395 sec

watch 'chia show -s -c' returns:

Heights and hashes are moving up, but connections for FARMER and WALLET are at 0.0 MiB Up.

Are my plots actually connected? If not, where have I gone wrong?

Looks like you haven’t added your plot directories. Normally chia plots show would show which directories are searched, not how many plots exist.

Try adding your plot directories with:

chia plots add -d /path/to/your/plots

As for why your wallet doesn’t sync, usually I would copy the wallet db file over too.

.chia/mainnet/wallet/db

For some reason if you only copy the blockchain db file over the wallet doesn’t sync. At least, it doesn’t for me. Besides copying you old wallet db file over, im not sure how you would fix this.

Usually, if your wallet stops syncing the advice is to remove the wallet db file to get it to re-sync. If that doesn’t work you might need to remove the blockchain db file and sync from zero. But you lose a day or two of farming just to re-sync. Anyone else here have a better fix?

This is great, thanks! The Tom’s Guide recommended by Chia didn’t include a lot of this info. I’ve copied over the wallet/db, and it is now synced.

This is what worked for me. I have a server that after 2 days was nowhere near close to synced. But my gaming desktop/plotter synced in less than 2 days. I just copied both DBs and that worked for me. Advice is that if you are in a position where Chia will not sync on just 1 system but you have another system tied to you that is synced, then copy the DBs. Otherwise you have to delete both DBs and start over from 0 again and hope it syncs. That said, didn’t 1.1.7 solve the never syncing issue?

For me I think the bigger issue is port 8444. I can keep running of a Pi very slowly, but farming off my PC is impossible.

Here I uninstall chia and delete the .chia folder, reinstall and all fine now.
