April 20, 20215 yr Hey all, I'm looking for a way to view the current read/writes and MB/s to a specific Unassigned Device. Basically I have started to do Chia plotting, and found a way to get it running via docker, but I want to monitor the disk I/O to see if its running faster than in a VM. Is there any app or anything I can run to see how my drive I/O and general server is performing?
April 21, 20215 yr You may try the netdata docker. What docker are you using for chia? Does it forward the gui to an outside port or you operating via console only?

April 25, 20215 yr I want to start Chia Plotting/farming but i cant debate if i should have the main farm on unRAID, Ubuntu VM, or a Windows. I prefer as much GUI as possible since I dont have any CLI experience and I dont want to mess something up.

I prefer as much GUI as possible since I dont have any CLI experience and I dont want to mess something up. I plot on unRAID and my windows gaming pc and then copy's the plots to unRAID where it gets farmed.
April 26, 20215 yr Is there a way to check inside the docker of the progress ? I started plotting 20 jobs in series, not parallel. Yes, i am aware this takes many days, but would like to add more when finished and i see no way to check at which plot the system currently works on.
May 5, 20215 yr I have a windows VM with the full Chia node running (farming, plotting, etc) basically as it installs. I have another Unraid box in which I got the above docker running (thanks for that post OP by the way). I want the docker to only plot files. Can anyone tell me exactly how to do that. I already have the mnemonic key file and the directories set up. I just want it to plot files that I can transfer to my main Chia VM. Exactly how can I instruct the docker to only plot? Thanks for the help in advance.🙂

Is there any app or anything I can run to see how my drive I/O and general server is performing? Have you found something suitable? I've been using dstat. Specifically dstat -pcmrd You can install this with Nerd Pack. Gives you a decent (although I don't completely understand it) view of I/O. I was also using top or htop to watch my CPU utilization. As the unRAID dashboard isn't the bet metric. top will tell you how many tasks are waiting for a CPU. I think this can help you tune your plotting better than just a graph. I'm going to try out Swar next.
