			:Plotting will require two fast storage devices, used as temp1 and temp2. Typically these are NVMEs or SSDs.

			:If your computer has at least 128GB of RAM and you do not plot in parallel, you can use a RAMdisk to wear down the disks a lot less.


			:You can create a RAMdisk by using:

			''<code>$ sudo mkdir /mnt/ramdisk $ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o rw,size=110G tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk</code>''

			:This is only temporary, so if you want the RAMdisk to be available after reboots, you have to modify your /etc/fstab file and add the lines:

			:''Note: The RAMdisk is absolutely optional!''

			:''But having two temp directories is not. While they can be on the same device, it is strongly recommended to use two different devices on a fast controller with high I/O available.''

			'''EXAMPLE:'''

			''<code>$ cd /home/plotter/chia-plotter/build $ ./chia_plot -n 1 -r 16 --tmpdir /mnt/temp1/ --tmpdir2 /mnt/temp2/ --finaldir /mnt/final/farm/ -c xch1[...]err -f b9012[...]649b</code>''

			:The plotting should be in progress now.

			:Depending on your setup, this may take from 30 minutes to several hours or even longer (when plotting on HDDs).

			:Be patient until the process is done and the plot has been moved to it's final destination.
