MinIO is a high-performance, distributed object storage system designed to handle unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups, and container images. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service and is ideal for large-scale data infrastructures. MinIO is widely used for its simplicity, scalability, and high availability.
When using MinIO for multipart uploads, you might encounter an InvalidPartSize
error. This error typically arises during the upload process, indicating that one or more parts of the file being uploaded do not meet the required size constraints.
During a multipart upload, you may receive an error message similar to:
InvalidPartSize: The size of one or more parts in the multipart upload is invalid.
This error halts the upload process, preventing the file from being stored in the MinIO bucket.
The InvalidPartSize
error is triggered when the size of any part in a multipart upload is less than the minimum required size. In MinIO, each part of a multipart upload must be at least 5 MB in size, except for the last part, which can be smaller if necessary.
This issue often occurs when the application or script handling the upload does not correctly segment the file into appropriately sized parts, or when there is a misunderstanding of the multipart upload requirements.
To resolve the InvalidPartSize
error, follow these steps:
Ensure that your application or script is correctly dividing the file into parts that are at least 5 MB in size. If you are using a library or SDK, check its documentation to confirm it supports MinIO's multipart upload requirements.
If you are manually configuring the part sizes, make sure each part is at least 5 MB. For example, in a Python script using the Boto3 library, you can specify the part size as follows:
import boto3
s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
# Set part size to 5 MB
config = boto3.s3.transfer.TransferConfig(multipart_chunksize=5 * 1024 * 1024)
s3_client.upload_file('largefile.txt', 'mybucket', 'largefile.txt', Config=config)
Ensure that the last part of the upload can be smaller than 5 MB if it is the remaining portion of the file. This is acceptable and will not trigger the InvalidPartSize
error.

By following these steps and ensuring compliance with the multipart upload requirements, you can effectively resolve the InvalidPartSize
error and ensure successful uploads to your MinIO storage.
