[BUG] Plot mover isn't working
Describe the bug Plot mover isn't working for me. After a while, the outdrive just fills up, and the ploto script terminates.
To Reproduce I have a bunch of paths. Some exist, some are full.
eg:
...
"EnableMover": "true",
"PathsToMovePlotsTo": "H:\\chia_nft_plots,I:\\chia_nft_plots,J:\\chia_nft_plots,L:\\chia_nft_plots,M:\\chia_nft_plots,O:\\chia_nft_plots,P:\\chia_nft_plots",
"DiskConfig": [
...
Expected behavior
- an error should be generated for missing folders.
- a warning should be generated for full folders.
- the script should try to fill the drives, starting with the first one in the list and working it's way to the last drive.
- it would be nice if the UI returned information about the status of the mover process. eg: No plots found to move, sleeping for 60 seconds. ; Moving plot from E:\adfadfasdfdsf.plot to G:\PlotArchive\adfadfasdfdsf.plot @ 12.6MB/s, ETA 1.2hrs.
- it would be nice if the mover could move the plots in parallel - I have a SSD outdrive, but the final drives are spinners. So I could actually move 4 plots from the SSD to 4 different drives at the same time, without the SSD being the bottleneck.
Ploto Version in use
- it would be nice if ploto spawns showed the version number.
Additional context @killadreams says that maybe we should use a single forward slash instead of the double backslashes in the PathsToMovePlotsTo parameter.
Here's a screenshot of the plotmover NOT finding valid plots in the outdrive:
As you can see, there are two files in the outdrive awaiting transfer.
@lanceosaurus can you confirm if Ploto-Mover is copying the files to the final destination you have specified in your config? I figured out that's what Ploto was doing with mine. They were being copied to the final destination, but Ploto would not delete them from the staging drive (source). I ended up having to setup a robocopy script that monitors the folders periodically for .PLOT files and moves them. That seems to be working for me right now.
No, it's not doing anything. The plots are not copied to the destination, they are just ignored.

FYI -- here's the script I leave running in PowerShell -- it scans when 2 changes are detected (/mon:2) and moves the plots from E:\ to Z:\ (which is a network share on my farmer). I have multiple staging drives, so I just open multiple PowerShell windows and adjust the drive paths as necessary. This is messy because it isn't smart enough to move to the next final drive when Z:\ fills like Ploto would....
robocopy /mov /mon:2 E:\ Z:\ *.PLOT
Yes, I too have a manual script to move them.... but they are supposed to be automagically moved by Ploto!
