how to check plot integrity
-
Hi there,
I know that a plot could get corrupted and does not work properly.
I would like to know if is there a way to check it get as output whether the plot os ok or not.
I'm on linux/ubuntuThank you

@ccminer just check size of plots:
nonces = size_in_bytes / 64 / 4096
if you have not optimized plots - rename plot by calculated "nonces"
-
@Blago I just did and I got for all of my plots (5TB each) this number 19075000, and it is correct!
So, what does it mean?

Seagate 5TB external drive. = 5,000,972,681,216 bytes (4.54 TB)
I only have 4.27 TB available so I will use this figure.
4,700,321,681,408 bytes free
Solve for Nonces (N)
N = 4700321681408 / 64 / 4096
N= 17930304.265625
Rounded it
N=17930304
wplotgenerator_your numeric address_0_17930304_4096
rename it (note 0 is your starting nonce or starting number with mult-plots)Did I pass? Failed then what would you do? Can't use AIO Wallet at the moment so need to do this manually?

@Burstde I f I remeber correctly the fact that you af a float number as total nonces nuber is not good at all
-
@Burstde
17930304 / 4096 = 4377.515625correct:
N = rounddown((4700321681408 / 64 / 4096 ) / stagger ) * stagger
N = 17928192

@Blago Sorry sir.
Could you be so kind to explain to me after we check the nonces numners what we get.
as I said :
"I just did and I got for all of my plots (5TB each) this number 19075000, and it is correct!
So, what does it mean?"
-
I got it yeah! Thankyou all
-
@ccminer its mean your plots are correct. PlotsChecker have the same algorithm
-
@Blago Thank you
-
@Burstde If you only have 4.27TB available, then only plot 4.0 TB to have extra space on your external drive. Try if it works.

@Blago said in how to check plot integrity:

Is this actually checking integrity of the plot contents? My reason for asking is that I ran gpu plotter twice on separate hdds direct and both times the plotter finished with a generic error writing file even though it did run for many many hours and seemed to create the correct plot files.
I am currently mining with these 2 file and there are no errors given but does that really mean it's not a complete plot?
I am unsure though that they are actually completed because of that error line. I did the above and the numbers are correct but I'm still uncertain.
Thanks
