88plug/chia-farming

This repo contains Chia farming scripts for optimizing plotting and farming operations. The scripts automate partitioning, formatting, and plot creation on hard drives using prepare-drives.sh, create Bladebit and C7 plots with GPUs using bladebit-plotting.sh and bladebit-cuda-plotting.sh, farm GPU plots using harvester-compose.yml

chia-farming's Issues

plot-mover.sh - single digit destination are incorrectly assumed to be in use.

If user has destination named drive-1, drive-2, ... drive-19, drive-20 then drive-1 is rarely used because the mover assumes drive-1 is in use if a current move is in progress for drive-10-19. Same can be true for drive-2 on large destinations.

Fix appears to work.
- if lsof -w -p "$pid" | grep "$drive" > /dev/null
+ if lsof -w -p "$pid" | grep -e "$drive/" > /dev/null

plot-mover.sh - Drive full check is not accurate for large drives.

Drive full at 100% is not sufficient. On my drives the drive reports 100% full although there is room for one more plot.

/dev/sdb1 13T 13T 121G 100% /mnt/chia/chia-6
/dev/sdd1 13T 13T 121G 100% /mnt/chia/chia-8
/dev/sde1 13T 13T 121G 100% /mnt/chia/chia-9

Fix is looking for XXG in free space instead of 100% usage to determine fullness. Not foolproof because 99G could be considered full but plot could be much less with compression. But much better for my situation as all my drives (8T, 12T, 14T, 16T) report over 100G while usage is 100%.

- if ! df -h "$drive" | awk '{print $5}' | tail -1 | grep -q "^100"; then
+ if ! df -h "$drive" | awk '{print $4}' | tail -1 | grep -q "^[0-9]\{2\}G$"; then

plot-mover.sh - Array removal is not working

The array code to remove full drives does not work properly. If you have drives 1-20 and drive 1 is full, the current replacement routine will substitute all drive-1 matches with ''. The remainder stays in the array. For example 'drive-11' becomes '1'. This then causes errors that day '1' is not mounted.

Comment out these lines.
farming_drives=("${farming_drives[@]/$drive}") echo "Drive $drive is full. Removing it from the list of available drives."
