Hi
Can you show us your devices.txt ?
Did you try to make a smaller plot file ? Try few GB to begin with.

RE: Plotting 3 hard drives at the same time with a GPUposted in Mining & Plotting
I am currently plotting the three hard drives with gpuplotgenerator and it seems pretty reliable for the moment. I think the issues I had previously was maybe due to third party app to acess a ext4 partition on Windows 10.
So, for this time, I booted Ubuntu mate from a usb key and have been gernerating plots with an average of 28000 nounces / minute, 3 plot files at a time, 1TB each. In the end it is going to take around 40 hours to fill the 3 x 6TB hard drives. -

Neat, thank you for the tips !

Thank you manfromafar.
I am surprised you said the plots where read in parallel because according to creepminer's log, they are read one at a time :20.05.2017 19:37:40 (100.00 GB) read in 0.136s (~183.47 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:40 (100.00 GB) read in 0.121s (~206.43 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:40 (100.00 GB) read in 0.157s (~158.44 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:41 (100.00 GB) read in 0.107s (~233.40 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:41 (100.00 GB) read in 0.107s (~232.00 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:41 (100.00 GB) read in 0.107s (~231.86 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:43 (930.00 GB) read in 1.927s (~120.62 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:43 (100.00 GB) read in 0.264s (~94.60 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:43 (200.00 GB) read in 0.547s (~91.36 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:46 (930.00 GB) read in 2.499s (~93.01 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:49 (930.00 GB) read in 2.606s (~89.20 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:49 (100.00 GB) read in 0.254s (~98.38 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:49 (100.00 GB) read in 0.267s (~93.33 MB/s) 20.05.2017 19:37:49 /mnt/md0/burst/plots read (13 files, 3.80 TB total)I'm currently mining at pool.burstcoin.party

Plotting 3 hard drives at the same time with a GPUposted in Mining & Plotting
Hello there,
I've been mining for 1 month now and I will soon receive 3 more 6TB hard drives.
I plan to plot them all at the same time on my gaming rig with the help of my 980Ti and gpuplotgenerator. I know it is going to take some time so I want to do it the right/fastest way :)
I plan on making 1TB plot files.
How should I spread the plot files accross the 3 hard drives for good mining performance ?HDD #1 : plot1 - plot2 - plot3
HDD #2 : plot4 - plot5 - plot6
HDD #3 : plot7 - plot8 - plot9or
HDD #1 : plot1 - plot4 - plot7
HDD #2 : plot2 - plot5 - plot8
HDD #3 : plot3 - plot6 - plot9I am currently using creepMiner on my linux server. According to the logs, the plot files are not read in parallel but sequentially. So I guess it should not matter where and how I plot the files. Is this correct ? Can we imagine that, in the near future, the miners will be able to scan several drives in parallel ?
I would also like to know if there is an alternative to gpuplotgenerator for gpu plotting. The development seems to have stopped 3 years ago and I had mixed results on the Windows version, sometimes it worked fine but sometime it got stuck at the beginning or at the end of a plot wasting a lot of time machine. I also tried to make a batch to queue the processing but it failed after the first one. I quickly tried the linux version on Ubuntu Mate but it seems to have the same behavior than the Windows version.
The cpu plotters dev seems way more active that the gpu ones unfortunately.Thank you !
