Automatic pruning of non-portable plots

[ryan-haver]

With official support for pools arriving shortly, most users will start creating portable plots that can be used to farm with pools.

It would be ideal to have a way to automatically prune non-portable plots. I can think of a bunch of different ways to handle this behavior. At the highest level it seems most logical for the general workflow to be as outlined below.

Workflow:

1. User specifies to create Portable Plots
2. User defines if they want to enable pruning a non-portable plot each time portable plot is successfully created
3. Now as new portable plots are created the old non-portables will in effect be replaced.
4. Rejoice that you don’t have to manage your storage because it has been automated.

I'm looking forward to this feature being available in Plotman soon.

Any update on this? Would a feature where old non-portable plots can be automatically replotted be feasible in machinaris?

Sorry, looks like the enhancement in Plotman has gone cold so I may need to pick this up when I get a chance.

Closing as stale at this point.

Re-opening to implement this in Machinaris itself, rather than down in Plotman. Current settings on the Farming page in the development stream.

Machinaris will just delete a few old plots per plot directory until adequate free space is present. Plotting (and optionally archiving) will then recognize the available space and plot into it, using your latest plotting configuration.

This is now in the machinaris:test images. Will be in the upcoming v0.8.6 release.

Now available in version of 0.8.6 of Machinaris. Thanks!
