Back to plotting
The replacement PCIe to U2 adapter card arrived and I tried the original Intel P4510 in it. It wouldn't work so I put another P4510 on it and after a few teething troubles its been running since. The U2 drive is used for work space when plotting. Chia released a 1.8.0 client as an urgent security update so I upgraded to it. That broke the Mad Max plotter so I was only able to use the default plotter. They have since released 1.8.1 that fixed it. One nice thing is the 1.8.0 client now tells you when a new version is available. I have been furiously plotting as fast as my one and only plotter can go. I have filled my secondary storage server (7 x 8TB drives in a ZFS raidz config) and a Raspberry Pi (2 x 16TB external drives in a BTRFS single drive config). Both of these are now harvesters. I have brought up the main storage server (10 x 16TB drives in a ZFS raidz2 config giving 106TB available) and I am working on filling it up. There is no sign of compressed plots in the 1.8.1 clien
