So no, I can't render the scene on the slave.
There are scenes which need 90GB on a 128GB node but render fine (and need less memory) on a computer with significantly less ram. But my question was more about missing plugins or loading/parsing errors, thus the logs.
Does the scene use 90GB to open it or to render it? What happens if you open the scene on a slave interactively? If you are not able to load it on a slave due to lack of memory or any missing plugins for example, you are of course also not able to render it there via DR, simple as that.
Good Luck
I am not sure I understood your statement about some computers might need less memory than others for the same scene. It sounds super weird to me. Or I just don't understand what's your point. Nevermind.
Logs does not show any error. All the necessary plugins are there. Ram amount goes up and down again again during the "parching scene" phase and never leaves from there.
Scene needs 55GB to open and 90GB to render. I am pretty sure I can open the scene on the slave but I will not be able to render it. Or I will, superslow, because Corona will start to use my ssd instead of Ram for the rest 26GB of information.
What's unusual, at least for me, it is that during the "parching scene" phase it doesn't reach slaves' potential of 64GB. It just goes around 20GB max. When you try to render a scene that needs more Ram than you actually have, Corona initially fills up your Ram and then it goes to ssd. It doesn't just load 20GB of Ram and then stops.
