I efficiently downloaded the Bitcoin blockchain on an exterior exhausting drive (in addition to git repository). It was working and syncing simply high quality. I have never utilized in a month or so, now the blockchain will not proceed the obtain (begins obtain from starting) despite the fact that I specified the datadir and blockdir. I attempted the standard options similar to setting the trail of blocks and datadir (to the trail within the exterior HDD). None of them work. I attempted operating the CLI and the GUI, identical drawback. It does not set up it within the right path.
Additionally, when it was reinstalling the entire blockchain, it places the brand new blocks folder within the unique blockdir (as a nested folder).
Am I lacking a step?
Do I’ve to mount the HDD to the house listing? it’s presently in /media
I’m utilizing Ubuntu 22.10
That is the datadir and blocksdir in bitcoin.conf file
datadir=/media/kibnakamoto/kntc/work/Bitcoin/
blocksdir=/media/kibnakamoto/kntc/work/Bitcoin/blocks/
I run the bitcoin-qt utilizing the next command listing
/media/kibnakamoto/kntc/work/Bitcoin/src/qt/bitcoin-qt -conf=/media/kibnakamoto/kntc/work/bitcoin.conf
This units the datadir to /media/kibnakamoto/kntc/work/Bitcoin/blocks and blocksdir to /media/kibnakamoto/kntc/work/Bitcoin/blocks/blocks
(kntc is the HDD title)
I’ve tried solely setting datadir as a substitute of each blocksdir and datadir
