in ubuntu verify that windows ntfs drives where auto mounted, run “ls /mnt”
in windows, open admin cmd and enter chia deamon dir, run “chia keys show”, take note of public pool & farmer key
in ubuntu enter max max plotter build dir and run plotter like this: sudo ./chia_plot -n 1 -r 32 -u 128 -t /mnt/d/ -2 /mnt/d/ -d /mnt/d/plots/ -p “yourpoolkeyhere” -f “yourfarmkeyhere”
Doesnt the windows terminal(ubuntu 20.4) have performance issues with writing to drives outside of the VHD? And would this hit make it slower than just using windows?
Since there is no official windows version of MadMax, I wouldn’t go that route. I don’t see any significant slow down in writing to the drives.
And for anyone doing these instructions. You don’t need to manually install cmake. I have confirmed that “sudo apt install cmake” works fine. I have done it on two more systems and no problems.
I literally just got it up and running on 20.04. I see some commands do not work like lsblk so does that mean you cannot mkfs or mdadm? Was hoping to take advantage of linux discard/trim options with btrfs file system?
That is probably the fact that it doesn’t have control of the drives since it is running as a subsystem of Windows. I have rtrim running as a scheduled task in windows.
I have some all in one computers that I am using usb NVME drives on.
I used the windows version of Madmax(fury road) on a couple of them…
I have 1 set up with this setup now and ran 1 plot and the result was Fury road 8108s and Ubuntu 20.04 8973s.
I just set up Ubuntu 20.04 on another machine that was using Fury Road but this time I did the WSL2 setup. I will post my results but if the first few table times are any clue, they are worse…
Strange
EDIT: I stopped the WSL2 it was TERRIBLE. All the table times were 4X as long…
