Well, you need a fast Sealing Storage attached. Seal should be at least 2TB ssd/nvme.

Hello and thank you very much for your reply, I changed the sealing storage to 3 To , but now all the sectors are in precomit1, how long does it take to change this state ?

[stuberman]

It depends on your CPU - Ryzen 9 3900x takes about 2-3 hours per PC1. With 128GB ram, you should be able to do 2xPC1 at the same time. The current scheduler likes to give priority to PC1. After PC1 then the next stage is PC2, then WaitSeed then C2.

You should be able to monitor jobs by using lotus-miner sealing jobs
You can also see resource utilization using lotus-miner sealing workers
You should be able to monitor storage capacity for sealing disks using lotus-miner storage list

Thank you that's very kind of you,

Is it normal that my precomit1 phase is still running after more than 12h ?

No, that is not usual if you are using a recommended AMD CPU.

[froid1911]

sorry for late reply.
you have only 256gb ram. Swapping is expensive which leads to longer pc1 timings.
I propose to just do 2 pc1 at once. That should work.
