Is it possible to Split an existing Plotfile?
-
Hi there. I got an big Plotfile with 20'000'000 Nonces on one of my harddrives (Staggersize 40000). The Filename is "<ID>_0_20000000_40000". Now i have to reorganize my disks an need to split this Plotfile in two parts (if possible).
In Linux you can use the Command split to do this. The command to split the big Plotfile in 2 files of exactly the same size is:
split -l 2 <Plotfile>.So my question is: Can i simply rename the 2 new splitted Plotfiles and rename them to:
splitted Plotfile1: "<ID>_0_10000000_40000"
splittet Plotfile2: "<ID>_10000000_20000000_40000"Could i mine this 2 Plotfiles or would they be not usable any more?

@piezo you can, but first plot must be 10000000 * 64 * 4096 = 2621440000000 bytes (and second too)

Ok, thanks a lot.
So in this case i also can consider to merge all my older little Plotfiles to big ones if the last nonce of one is the startnonce of the next. Good to know. :)

This is great... This could be done on Windows too? If could be done what's the command line?

Plotsplitting is an interesting concept for dynamic plotting. & dynamic plot distribution.
