How to mount 3TB NTFS partition on Linux? It's recognized on Windows just fine but Linux won't. Hard Drive shows up on Disks utility but it shows it all as "Unallocated". 

Can someone help?

Natively it reads, I think you need a driver to write to a NTFS file system.

I don't care about writing, it's been plotted already. I just need Linux to detect and read the partition so I can mine with Linux. I think it's because it's GPT or something.

Code:

head -c `stat -c%s <n-path>` o-path | diff - <n-path>

should work.  Where o-path is the path to the old output, and n-path is the path to the new.

Seriously though, I have no idea what you are requesting.

If you're still running a plot on the GPU, could you then try running one of the CPU plotters with the same parameters (address, nonce range, stagger size) for a few minutes and check that they match in the part created by the CPU plotter?  Say the directory containing the GPU plotter output (the "plots" directory") is <GPU-path>, and the path to the CPU output is <CPU-path>.  Could you then run this command in a terminal and report back its output?  If they match, there should be no output.

Code:

head -c `stat -c%s <GPU-path>` <CPU-path> | diff - <CPU-path>

Gotcha.
I'll take a look into testing this tomorrow. Once the GPU plot I have going currently finishes.

Used this command for generating second file..this should be 100 GB file but its already crossed 130 GB....and still increasing the file size..

Can anyone help me understand this???

should i close and restart or keep it running

Second number is block-length, not End-Plot. The resulting file would be 200 GB

Those numbers are not plot start and end point.

They are plot start and duration of plot, so it is only over half done now.

Hey, new burst wallet uses a bout 50mb less RAM than the old one, YAY!!!

Mined about 7.2 TB on two PCs with Dedicated GPU (R9 290) so a total of 14.4 TB.  In average of 14K Burst per day so it is about 0.0497 BTC per day at 0.00000355 BTC rate.

Plotting will continue until 37 TB  (8 HDD combined) should be another 1-2 days to complete.

Awesome!
Just tested it out on Linux (Ubuntu 14), I had to modify a couple more things than what was in the readme:

OPENCL_INCLUDE = ../_opencl/include
OPENCL_LIB = ../_opencl/lib/win/x86
CC = /c/_data/cryo/_apps/mingw/bin/g++
CC_FLAGS = -ansi -pedantic -W -Wall -std=c++0x -O3 -I$(OPENCL_INCLUDE)
LD = /c/_data/cryo/_apps/mingw/bin/g++

I changed these to my locations (also CC and LD needed to be changed):

OPENCL_INCLUDE = ../opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/include
OPENCL_LIB = ../opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/lib/x86_64
CC = g++
CC_FLAGS = -ansi -pedantic -W -Wall -std=c++0x -O3 -I$(OPENCL_INCLUDE)
LD = g++

I attempted to do a "make dist" but it was complaining that the "bin" folder didn't exist.
I created the bin folder manually, and then I was then able to issue a "make dist" and got the following:

Code:

Compiling [Command.cpp]

Not sure if that is a critical issue or not, but I ran the app anyways.... and it appears to be GENERATING PLOTS on my AMD Radeon 7800!

Code:

./gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/GPU_Plotter_v2.0.0/bin/plots 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024

Also, not sure on the "hashes" (1024) number really compares to though

On my AMD Radeon 7800!


WOOT! 121,000 nonces/minute!

Did that ~3.5TB take 2 hours to finish?

Writing to the the actual plot file, I've measured it spike between 1.5-2.5GB/minute.
So, I calculate plotting the 1.79TB file would be around 16hours by the actual file growth rate
...compared to the 5+days it would take on CPU.

May be notable difference... I am also CPU plotting on the same system to the same drive as the GPU plotting...

Your using Linux with the GPU plotter? I try the same stagger and hash, still get the same speeds as v.1.1.0. You sure you don't have some kind of optimization on it, plotter and/or driver? I get about 12,000~12,300 nonces/min on a 7970, but I'm on Windows. What driver are you using in Linux?

anyone know how to fix error at step 2 kernel ? GPU Plotter

V2 plotter isn't compiled?

How does one calculate the amount of burst mined/day?

I don't want a manual calculator, I need either some API or the actual algo so I can do it myself for a site.

I don't think that is accurate.

I am using 8 TB and am seeing somewhere between 5 and 6500 Burst per day. How far back have you been mining to get a daily average that high?

lol, I have like almost no clue what I'm doing with linux... so nothing at all is "optimized".
I think that the given nonces/min may not be correct, as I think 121,000 nonces/min should plot faster than ~16hours.
However, I was CPU plotting at the same time, and I just saw that my Teamviewer was taking 30-60% CPU (as i'm accessing it remote).

I basically stumbled my way through getting linux installed and getting everything configured...

Here is what I have/did:

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc
sudo apt-get install opencl-headers

I also installed java via apt-get, but I don't remember the commands...

Additionally, I had to monkey around with remounting my secondary plot (NTFS) drive as writable.
Other than that, I've only made the above edits to the "Makefile" file to actually get it to compile...

I think it's off a digit, more likely doing ~12k nonce/min. As maybe an error in Linux where it's displaying it wrong. I was about to say how the heck a 7800 going smoke a 7900 series card...lmfao

Sound like v.2.0.0 is adaptable with AMD 14.x drivers....I'll switch from 13.9 to 14.7, see if there's a difference. On v.2.0.0, I can't get a stagger no higher than 3072, compared with v.1.1.0 I could do 4096. 64~128 is the sweet spot for the thread for the 7970 I own. Still playing with the hash at 3072 and trying to get as close to 8160 as possible.
