Yes on server have this so will just setup one ram drive of 250mb ram that will do all work.
Yea linux is must.
I’m curious, my plotting time is 65 minutes, but I believe it should be faster?

Some parts were a lot faster, others a lot slower.
Not sure what the matter.
I would look closer at the working SSD disks. Use 2 different disks, 1 for directory 1 and 1 for directory 2. Two completly different disks, not just two different partitions.
Like below:
-n 1 -r 24 -u 512 v- 128 -t TheLessImportantDirectory:\ -2 MostImportantDirecotryTheFastestSSD:\ -d G:\ -f [KEY] -c [KEY]

Thanks for the tip. I dont have another SSD to use, tho. Only the one my OS is on - and another in an USB-C encasing, which I guess wouldnt do much good here

Are you using the latest version of Madmax? If not, delete and re-install fresh from Github

yes, I used the latest version yesterday downloaded

Which version did you download, you’re on Windows, right?
Maybe it’s an old release or something like that?
Can’t think of any other reason why it would be complaining about a poolkey missing

Think simple. Try these, one of them may work.
- There is a missing parametre
- put -f *** and -c *** before others

But if I use just one ram disk drive it should be bigger than stated in mad max log (220)… I rem peak is about 260-270 if using one drive for all 4 phases… need to find that info again in order to know how much ram to get…
Thank you very much!!!
I did this change and improved the plot in around 40% using an NVME

I have two systems running, using same -u 256 and -v 128 but one with Windows 10 Pro and another is ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop.
Windows 10 Pro 2 x E5-2680V4 256GB RAM (28 Core no-hyper-treading), Temp1 Intel P3600 2TB and Temp 2 Intel P3700 1.6TB, I get a plot about 39min.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop 4 x E5-4660V4 521Gb RAM (64 core no-HT), temp 1 and Temp 2 using RAMdisk, can get a plot a about 30min.
This seen that the 4 x E5-4660V4 is not performance as good as the 2 x E5-2680V4 in Windows 10, why?
Thanks.
As t1 and t2 you use one ram disk ? Or you mounted two of them? If 2 ram disk mounted try mount only one ram disk and do all in same t1 and t2.
Thanks for the advise. Will change to only 1 RAMdisk.
Sorry, please advise what is the size of the RAMdisk I should set. Thanks.
Have you looked into Bladebit on your second server? You have enough ram to use it. Supposedly, it’s what all the kids are talking about now days!
