Plotting on Windows and mining on Linux. Is it possible?
-
I plotted and optimized 2 HD on Windows and I would like to mine with them under Ubuntu. Is it possible? How can I do that? New to linux but want to learn…
Thanks!

@malvino Never tested that, but sure ... should work.

@malvino It will work, you need to mount NTFS drives in Linux manually:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdxx /whereever/you/want
-
Yea i did it for a while after i switched computers and didnt feel like putting windows on it. I ran Ubuntu, just mounted the drives as is (NTFS) and used the proper miner ( one that is linux friendly)
-
@rnahlawi Great! Thank you very much! I'll try it…
-
@jmeek82z28 Which miner are you using?
-
I think I used dcct on Ubuntu. I use Blago now ( after I built the new rig, everything went back to windows 10)

@rnahlawi Hi! I tried what you said and here's the result:
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Operation not allowed
The NTFS partition is in unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount optionAny suggestion?
-
@malvino is the partition active? and have you tried 'sudo' before the mount?
-
@malvino had the same problem, Windows is using some kind of fast shutdown, called hibernation. You have to disable it, then shutdown Windows and then you can mount the drive on Linux.
