Bash Script to Monitor and delete old "OG" plots to make room for new NFT plots

 Bash Script to Monitor and delete old "OG" plots to make room for new NFT plots


This script uses crontab to monitor a folder containing the old non-poolable plots for Chia, aka OG plots. This only works if you have kept different types of plots in separate folders. The script does not check the plot type so be warned that if you use a folder with NFT plots, those will be deleted also. The script will delete plots when the amount of free space drops below 110,000,000 (110 GB). 



Here is the script, called "drivemon.sh".

#!/bin/bash
drv=$1
free=`df --output=target,avail $drv | grep -v "Mount" | cut --fields 2 --delimiter=\ `
if [[ $free -lt 110000000 ]]; then
 # if free space is less than 110GB _and_ there are 
 # OG plots on the drive, delete the oldest plot.
 ogcount=`ls $drv/*.plot | wc -l`
 if [[ $ogcount -gt 0 ]]; then
    rm "$(ls -t $drv/*.plot | tail -1)"
  fi
fi


And the entry into crontab. (adjust the drive to match your needs)

crontab -e

5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * ~/mycode/drivemon.sh /mnt/hdd-b


You may need to make the script executable for crontab.

chmod +x drivemon.sh

How to setup a Chia Harvester

How to setup a Chia Harvester To get a Harvester computer setup, follow these steps. These steps assume you already have a FULL NODE computer running. HOME will be your user folder on a machine. Linux /home/<username> Windows C:\Users\<username> FULL NODE will be the machine you are running as a full node. HARVESTER will be the machine you want to run as a harvester, and not a full node. Step 1 . Make a  copy  of the  ca  folder on the FULL NODE and put it on the HARVESTER. I used a thumb drive to do this, but I have seen other use secure copy (scp) on the command line. Linux ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/ca Windows C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config\ssl\ca Step 2 . Edit the “config.yaml” file on the FULL NODE and make the following change. farmer: -> logging: -> log_level: Change "WARNING" to "INFO" ("DEBUG" with 1.1.6) Linux ~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml Windows C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config\conf
