Plotter wastes time by waiting until finished plot is fully copied #662

Open randhomejoe opened 3 years ago

randhomejoe commented 3 years ago

Using Ubuntu 20.04 The plot is finished under 2000 seconds But then it just waits another 2300 second until the plot is coppied over the network until it starts the next plot?

Why is that happening?

I want it to start a new plot while the last one is coppying

Here is the screenshot waiting for copy

Um.. really? it does wait until plot is copied? I had the inverse problem and needed Plotter to wait. I use windows BTW.

nope..... my linux plotter continues whilst it is copying....

Qwinn1 commented 3 years ago

Same here as Hardcore-fs, meaning the plotter continues while the copy is taking place. Perhaps you are using an older version of madmax.

you need to plot multiple in serial via -n X

madMAx43v3r commented 3 years ago

ah wait, you're doing that, in that case the previous copy wasn't finished yet, you can see the copy that finished was the previous plot. so you're not copying fast enough.. 44 MB/s is quite slow

asukahan commented 3 years ago

the waiting is caused by your previous plot, not the plot you just finished. improve the speed of your destination HDD then have another try.

Nice logic but not obvious... Hope it will be in the readme.MD file soon...
