Hi Ryan,
I get this error on my jobs:
Could not open plugin info “C:\Documents and Settings\render.ARQUI300.000\Local
Settings\Application Data\Prime Focus\Deadline\slave\jobsData\max_job_info.job” because
could not read hashtable file
Can you help me.
Regards
Can you confirm if the file is there or not? If it is, can you post it? We can take a look at it to see if anything is corrupted. Also, which version of Deadline are you currently running?
Thanks,
No, the file does not exit in this directory, I use daeadline 4.0 SP1
Fixed.
This problem occurred because I had no disk space, freed space and got to work
Thanks
Hello Ryan,
I have the same error with Linux and the file exists and readable by everyone and the local disk have a lot of free space left.
This is the error log

Can you please help me out on this.

Can you post the MayaCmd.dlinit file? Maybe something is corrupt in it…
Thanks!
That’s it

This looks like the MayaBatch.dlinit file, but the error message is complaining about the MayaCmd.dlinit file.
Are you getting this error with the MayaBatch plugin too, or is it just MayaCmd? Note that the MayaBatch plugin is used when you enable the “Use MayaBatch” option in the submission script.
Cheers,
I didn’t notice that before but yes we do have both problems but on two different machines (one machine has problems with MayaBatch and the other with MayaCmd).
That’s the MayaCmd.dlinit

I can send you the log for MayaBatch error too if you need it.
Thanks
Thanks for the info, but that’s weird that one machine would have a problem with one file and the other with a different file. Is it just these 2 machines that are acting up, or is it more widespread than that?
I was trying to replicate the issue that we were having in the morning and I just can’t.
It seems everything is rendering correctly now in both MayaBatch and MayaCmd (nothing important has changed since!)
I just want to confirm that the error was on several machines and on both MayaBatch and MayaCmd.
if the problems happens again i’ll repost in here 
thanks
