Alright, I think I've got everything setup, but I just want to make sure, because I'm not great with unRAID in general.
I've got my /plotting path set to:
/mnt/cache/appdata/chiaplotting/
That should mean that the plotting and all the calculations will only occur on my cache drive, right? Is that the most efficient way to do it, or should I have a separate SSD just for this?
Then I've got my /plots path set for:
/mnt/user/Miscellaneous/chiaplots/
Pretty sure this one is okay, since it will basically just push it out to the array in this spot once the plot is finished, right?
Then, after running the other commands and setting up my wallet, I installed tmux, opened a terminal window, ran tmux, and then ran the command to start plotting. I then did this for four other terminal windows. They're currently all in Phase 1, going through the Buckets.
Assuming all of that is correct, my questions are:
1) By running the terminals using tmux, I don't have to worry about closing the terminal window or my pc rebooting, right? Everything will just keep running in the background. Verified this by accidentally losing internet connection. Terminals lost connection, but the plotting appears to still be running.
Is there a way to open back up the terminal to see the current status of the individual plotting? Figured this one out too. Just have to use the 'Tmux attach -t' command.
2) Are there any other commands or anything that I need to run once the plotting is done, or does it just do its thing?
3) How much does CPU power help with the process? I've got a Ryzen 3600 laying around that I thought about throwing in there if it will actually help. Looks like I'm definitely going to do this. Should be a pretty big upgrade from the single L5630 I had it running on before.
4) This may be related to question #2, but, once a plot is calculated and is stored on my array, does it just stay there forever? Or does that space eventually get reallocated somehow? I think I answered this one myself. The plots stay there and the system "farms" them going forward.
5) Is there any way to get Plot Manager working with this?
