You need to pick up from where you left off. If I remember correctly the filename will tell you the nonce that you stopped at.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I am not quite sure what you mean... right now I started my test with the default of 800000, it's currently generating from nonce 37500, once this is complete, I assume it will be at 800000... at that time, can I just start another run_generate, or do I have to do something to add to the one that is already done?
My overall goal here is to use 5-10 TB of my hdd space on this server, thank you for the assistance!
The example that dev gives will create 200GB. Just multiply to the amount that you want to create.
You can then replace the starting nonce in run_generate with 800001, to start from there. If you just restart it, it'll start at 37500 again and basically wipe all your generated data.
So, when this one is finished, I start another with 800001 to start from there, how do I up the amount of space it uses? I want to make it use more.
