Checking multiple plots with plotschecker

me too , so I manually changed 2 of them since eventually I will replot them anyways

How do you manually change them?
-
@Propagandalf create a batch file in your plotschecker folder
checkallplots.bat
plotschecker d:\Burst\plots
plotschecker e:\Burst\plots
plotschecker f:\Burst\plots
...

@iKnow0 @Burstde
Ah, thanks! It was input for the batch file I was after actually, since I never got the GUI working. My batch was missing 'plotschecker' at the start of each line, I thought that it was enough to put it once.

It just seemed to check the contents of each individual drive, but not cross-check with the plot sequence in the others. Maybe what I am looking for is what is coming in the next version? I will tag @Blago since he made the tool. :)

@Propagandalf miner check overlaps.
added this to todo list
-
@Blago I have 10 drives. Each drive contains two plot files that do not overlap, but unfortunately some of them have a nonce number that overlaps with the starting nonce on the next drive. Do you mean that the plotschecker is supposed to fix this also? With me it just said "checked OK", but Jminer tells me I have overlap, and when I manually calculated it, it shows overlap too.
-
plotchecker just tells you if the file is ok. The miner looks at the entire population for overlaps. If you have an overlap you're wasting space.

OK, and when you say entire population, you mean everything inside one disk, right?
-
not only one disk, I mean across your entire farm. I have 14 drives. when the miner starts up it scans all the plot files on all those drives and flags overlap.
-
@rds Oh, right, I see what you mean now. :) Sorry, I am a bit confused today. Miner detects these overlaps across the entire farm, but at the moment Plotschecker tool can only fix one and one drive, but Blago has added the extra functionality of cross-checking drives to his to-do list.
-
From what i read in other posts, plotschecker doesn't really check that the file has substance, just that the filename matches the size, or something like that. I like the Xplotter. If your file is bad or incomplete, running the xplotter again will flag it and either finish the file or replot.
Unfortunately, xplotter sees plot files made with the old plotgenerator and the optimizer as bad so it wants to replot from 0% on the existing file real estate.
