Plotting Issues
-
Hey people this is really frustrating
I have for two weeks tried to get two 2 TB HDD to plot and the issues that are occurring are ridiculous I have tried all the plotting software thats been made available and there is always an issue associated to either setting up or running the software, whether OpenCL.dll or IE updates or gosh knows what, the plotter attached to the auto wallet is just so slow its beyond a joke, any advice would be appreciated

@Ranger64 is there any screenshots? tbh when i first use wplotgenerator, it was pretty fast for me about 6 hours for a TB and if u used a gpu plotter it would be even faster.
-
@Ranger64 usually sometimes the plotter runs out of memory so you have to restart it, I supposed everytime it ran out of memory, you ran a new one right?
-
I am running a dual core I have run it on both two and one core and it still doesnt move, Iwill provide screen shots if possible
-
@Ranger64 ok, if possible use the gpu plotter, way better imo and also if the time saying its going to take years, don't worry that just a crappy estimate
-
I have been using cpu as its more feasable at present, as Im only new to all this
-
-
@Ranger64 that's really slow. I see you're already using 2 cores. it should be 1000+ nonces/minute. :( @haitch, any suggestions on this?
-
Yes very frustrating
-
@Ranger64 Yeah, thats really slow - off hand no idea why. Is it an internal drive or USB? What GPU do you have and have you tried the GPU Plotter ?
-
@haitch External drive via usb 2TB Toshiba HDD and is running CPU I have no idea what graphics card is in pc its a standard HP or Compaq sliimline pc 8850 I believe

My question is about 'plotting'. However, it is about setting up the HDD. I plan to add a 5TB HDD to my system and use it for burst mining in the Linux environment (Ubuntu 14.04). I plan to format the drive in ext4 with one partition.
My question is:- The most efficient way to set up my hdd. Should I make a small partition for all the software downloads with the remaining for plotting?
- One partition with software and plotting all together?
Or - One partition with software loaded to a file and run from another drive?
If this subject has been discussed, please point me in that direction. As you can tell I am new to mining and most research shows setting up and using the software but not the best way to set up a drive to run the mining operation/wallet/etc.
Thanks for any help.

@vadirthedark Use one large partition and one plot file for the whole drive. Put the plotter/miner on a separate drive, if using Ext4 make sure you disable write barriers prior to plotting.
