| Dec 29, 2016 at 9:18 | comment | added | alper | @variable I am facing with the same problem. My node has 2GB RAM, so due to the low memory while mining, DAG generation always fails and force me to remove /.ethash file, start mining and re-create DAG files from scratch. Does disable autodag solved your problem? | |

| Jul 8, 2016 at 13:53 | comment | added | galahad | Yes. Starting over from the beginning is a temporary solution but that would delete all the data, which is not desired. I saw this --autodag option in geth --help but couldn't figure out how to use it. | |

| Jul 8, 2016 at 3:21 | comment | added | galahad | @niksmac While mining my private blockchain, , automatic generation of DAG for epoch 1 started at block #16092. I had a lot of processes running at that time and the DAG generation failed due to low memory which ultimately stopped the mining process. So, I pre-generated DAG for epoch 1 and then started mining again. I want to disable this because I don't want the miner to crash while generating DAG for epoch 2 again. | |
