--disable-potfile option not available ? - proinside - 04-22-2012
Help options does not list --disable-potfile for oclhashcat-plus, while
hashcat have it.
See, if the user choose to save in a different file name(and extension,
wathever), a default potfile in the oclhashcat main folder is always adding
all found results. After sometime, the file can take a huge size when
in fact isn't needed when the user uses the -o "filename.ext".
Or am I missing something ?
Tks.

it is required when you use the --show or the --left switch, thats why you can not disable it

Understood, thanks.
What impact that might have in performance overall ? I guess it must
be nothing or... can be a little bit, just a little bit ?
I'm not thinking about runing 10 minutes or an hour. Just imagine if
it is running one week or one month, for example ?
I guess this is not a relevant question, but more a curiosity question.
You already justify it with no doubt about it at all.

It has no performance impact
