One big folder for all plots

[hajes]

The idea was to consolidate all mount points to one virtual directory instead of changing config.yaml all the time.

I have used symlinks ln -s /mnt-XX/*.plots /chia-plots from nine mount points to a single directory.

All seems ok with chia farm summary. All plots there but no proof sent to pool.

Do you guys have some safety feature that refuses to follow symlinks to real plot?

Does harvester recursively search subdirs?

I have now /chia-plots/mnt/c1-9. if I type in config.yaml just /chia-plots, would be everything found recursively, please?

Hi,

You don't need to do that, in config.yaml, you can set a single plot_directories to /mnt for example and then set recursive_plot_scan: true.

This will recursively look all your directories in /mnt.

In your case, I see that you have different roots, I would recommend that you mount your nine drives in a single root. Ex. /mnt/hdd1, /mnt/hddXX, etc.

config.yaml it would be great if you guys post reference/all options on Wiki ;-)

You can find them here: initial-config.yaml

I have accidentally found this file about a month ago. Thanks anyway Ganbin

Is there a way to exclude subdirectories from recursive_plot_scan, please?

I have two types of plots, and of course, it spams log with ERRORs about invalid plot format

I don't think so, but I suggest you to have a different folder for the 2 different types of plots. Like /mnt/plots1 and /mnt/plots2. You would then use plot_directories: /mnt/plot1. It will then only recursively look into /mnt/plot1
