Plotting on different tmp drives

[andre-bender]

Hey, I'm in love with plotman but I cant find an answer to my following question.

I have 2 tmp drives. One which is about 1 TB large (3 K32 would fit) and one that is 500 GB (1 K32 would fit).
How can I configure plotman that 3 plots are plotted on the 1 TB drive and 1 plot on the 500 GB drive? I would like to do 4 K32 parallel.

Assuming 00 is the 1TB drive and 01 is the 500GB drive.

tmp:
        - /mnt/tmp/00
        - /mnt/tmp/01

tmp_overrides:
        "/mnt/tmp/00":
                tmpdir_max_jobs: 3
        "/mnt/tmp/01":
                tmpdir_max_jobs: 1

scheduling:
        tmpdir_stagger_phase_major: 2
        tmpdir_stagger_phase_minor: 1
        tmpdir_stagger_phase_limit: 1
        tmpdir_max_jobs: 4
        global_max_jobs: 4
        global_stagger_m: 60
        polling_time_s: 20

Ah, got it. Thank you very much!

Can you explain me why plotman doesn't copy to a mounted network ntfs share after phase 4 is completed? Is there also any fix for this?

I would need more information about your setup...

[andre-bender]

In my folder /mnt/hdd I have mounted a network share with sudo mount.cifs //Share /mnt/hdd. When plotman finishes the jobs, the jobs don't get copied to /mnt/hdd. I checked permissions and have read/write on that share. The share is ntfs formatted.

[thomann061]

The plotman logs should state why they werent copied.

    tmpdir_max_jobs: 4
    global_max_jobs: 4

Can you explain why you set the tmpdir max jobs at 4?

[thomann061]

I made the assumption he is working with one tmp drive. If there was multiple tmp drives, setting tmpdir_max_jobs to 2 would limit each tmp drive to 2 concurrent jobs. This is offered to balance the load on each tmp drive, so one isnt favored over the other. At least thats the way I see it.
