Question about plotchecker
-
Will plotchecker be able to tell me if plotting was cut short by a system reboot?
I ran it and said the drive was "ok"...
CPU rebooted and not sure if the plot was finished or not.
-
@darindarin No. The plotchecker only verifies that the file size matches the file description given by it name. If the file was being generated by XPlotter then you can resume it - otherwise there is no way of telling the status of the file
-
@haitch i ran the aio xplotter.. when i try to plot through there again it says it is full.... should i just replot it to be safe?
-
@darindarin The AIO can't resume - you'll need to run xplotter manually specifying the start none and number of nonces. You can get those values from the filename.
-
should i be taking into consideration the other plots?
-
@darindarin No, just edit the "runthisasadmin.bat" to use your ID, the start nonce and number of nonces, point it to the correct directory, then run it - it'll resume where it was interrupted.
-
@haitch just to be redundant and in case anyone else is following or referring to this in the future. .. the start nonce here is 800000001 ?
-
@darindarin Yes, and number of nonces = 30,522,640
-
is this a better indication that the plot finished ?

The best way to insure your plot is complete is to rerun the xplotter with the same parameters (starting nonce, #of nonces) and see that it returns a red message saying plot is complete.
-
when i change number of nonces to 0 ...
-
@rds this screenshot shows me with the startign nonce and number of nonces.. but getting a not enough free space error
-
If you look on your drive you will see a file with n=0 it was plotted and is basically useless. here's what you will see with a complete full file.
I never use n=0, always use a specific amount of nonces, like 409600 for 100GB, 381500 for 1TB etc. So if you plot a file with n=0 command to rerun the xplotter on that same file you have to look in the directory and replace the n=0 parameter with the n=(actual nonces produced with the n=0 command).
rerun it and if you get the above message, it is intact.

@rds for some reason .. the xplotter is creating a new folder in the wrong place labeled plots. .. i have already started to plot another drive when it is finished i will try this again.. i am pretty sure pc rebooted with 75% done.. but i fell asleep so this is the only way to find out.
-
once i moved the plot file to where the xplotter wants to put the plot and i ran it with @haitch 's recommended parameters .. it took off starting at 39%.. .. when it is done i will have to put the file back to where i had it or it will not show up in the miner files.
thanks everyone for the help..
I KNEW this plot wasnt finished and sure enough .. it wasnt.

H:\plots ?
where are plot was before?
-
@Blago H:\burst\plots from the aio wallet.. but every time i run it manually it puts it in H:\plots
-
@darindarin said in Question about plotchecker:
H:\plots
Hey Superfriend, when you open up to plot file bat file, what happens when you manually put in the "H:\burst\plots" folder, does it work? I can't remember off the top of my head, as I don't have mine on me at the moment, but in the file it might read something similar like H:\burst\plots or even h://burst/plots or something along those lines.
-
@Vneck will check when i am home again.. i ran into this once before using the xplotter via bat file.. plotted 8tb and the miner couldnt find it soon as i moved it to where the miner wanted it it worked.. but gimme a few hours to respond to your question
-
@darindarin All good, hope it's a quick\simple fix. Getting another hard drive up is always fun...more burst into that wallet. BOOM! Boom...and all that!
-
@Vneck as soon as plot is done i can move it and it will work with the miner.. it does look like i can edit the destination location inside the .bat file.. i will try if i ever have to use the xplotter again but i am sure @Blago or @anyoneelse can confirm this. i am just happy there is a way to restart a file that is interrupted.
