I'm having a minor inconvenience with the -epoolsfile option.
I'm using claymore trough Simplemining.net which means that finer folder gets swiped when i switch miner.
This means that the epools.txt gets removed every time and my solution is to copy in a backup from another location.

I have tried to add -epoolsfile and the direct path to the backup file but it does not seem to be able to read that file for some reason.
-epoolsfile /home/miner/epools.txt

gives this when I press "r"

Code:

Reloading /home/miner/epools.txt
ETH: 1 pool is specified

This refers to the pool entered on the command line.

if I copy this epools.txt to /root/miner/claymore-eth-v11.8/epools.txt and remove the -epools on the command line it gives the following in the log:

Code:

Reloading epools.txt
ETH: 4 pools are specified

Which means it reads the file with three pools + the one on the command line

So am I entering the path to the alternative epoolsfile wrongly in some sense or is Claymore unable to use absolute paths (so ../../../home/miner/epools.txt would work better)?
Nah it gives

Code:

Reloading ../../../home/miner/epools.txt
ETH: 1 pool is specified

Did you check your file permissions? Since you're traversing into a different directory structure, what is that directory's permissions? What is that file's permissions? Which group/user? You can give read access only to it. You don't need write access to keep the permissions secure.
