This is part of my config file, am I doing this right? (github removed the newlines, sorry for that)
"DiskConfig": [ { "D": "plot", "C": "", "E": "out", "EnableT2": "false" } ],
It should look more like this, you seem to have added in the disk drive letters which is not needed, ploto will scan for drives including the chosen TempDrive name or OutDrive name, for example if you have a drive named ChiaStore and the OutDrive demon is set to "store" the ChiaStore drive will be used for storing the plots.
Thanks Tydeno on Discord, and here!
I'm really slow this night but got it working... For other newbies, no stress! It's simple.
Tydeno Ploto will look for Disk Label patterns. You can set those label patterns in the C:\Users\YourUserName\.chia\mainnet\config\PlotoSpawnerConfig.json
file's "DiskConfig": section.
I use my NVME boot disk as a secondary temp (-2). Its disk label is "Lokale Schijf". I also have an SSD disk, labeled SSD00 and a storage disk, named "HP_HDD_00". So my DiskConfig section ends up looking like this:
"DiskConfig": [
{
"TempDriveDenom": "SSD",
"Temp2Denom": "Lokale schijf",
"OutDriveDenom": "HP_HDD",
"EnableT2": "true"
}
],
Nothing more needs to be edited, you are ready to Ploto away ;-)
Update:
temp2 appeared not be working properly yet. When I started Ploto, I got:
T2Drive : None
I wanted to use my NVMe system disk as a secondary temp directory. By default, my C:-drive's label was set to "Lokale schijf".
I tried setting the denom to "Lokale" instead, but that didn't work either.
The solution was renaming the system volume to something else, I choose "windows' and ended up with this DiskSection:
"DiskConfig": [
{
"TempDriveDenom": "SSD",
"Temp2Denom": "windows",
"OutDriveDenom": "HP_HDD",
"EnableT2": "true"
}
],
Closing it again :)
PS: T2 Drive: none could also mean Ploto couldn't find a t2 drive that has 107 GB free space... PS: Tydeno — Today at 9:44 PM really weird. I also have spaces in my volume names it looks for volumes that have the denom somewhere in their name. I use like „ChiaPlot 4“ etc. for my tempdrives. The denom then is „plot“. But glad it works.

I know I'm tired a.f. but what am I doing wrong here?
