I am making an attempt to do the preliminary block obtain so I can run a full node. Did not expertise any points till the obtain acquired to about 87% then bitcoind crashed with out logging any errors. I’ve tried restarting it a number of occasions, nonetheless every time once I come again to my pc a couple of hours later to examine on it I discover that it has crashed and any obtain progress has been misplaced.
I’m doing this on my private laptop computer, utilizing a 1 terabyte exterior exhausting drive (not SSD) and a wired Ethernet connection. I’ve disabled sleep on my pc and have been leaving it plugged into energy.
Particulars:
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
- CPU structure: x86_64
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz
- RAM: 16gb
- Web velocity: 90 Mbit/s obtain
- Bitcoin Core model: v27.0.0
That is the command I am utilizing to run the daemon:
bitcoind -daemon -debug -datadir=/media/me/TOSHIBA EXT/bitcoin/ -dbcache=10000
That is the final 25 strains from the debug.log file earlier than it crashed:

Issues I’ve already tried:
- run the daemon with debugging enabled and examine the debug.log file for apparent issues
- examine if the exterior exhausting drive is corrupted: I’ve run some exams utilizing
smartctlandbadblocksand so they have not reported any points - experiment with completely different values for
dbcache - search for the final block hash listed within the debug.log file in a public block explorer to confirm it exists
- have a look at the bitcoin supply code the place the final log comes from (
validation.cppline 2592). If I needed to guess I might say perhaps one thing between that and the subsequent go online line 2683 is inflicting bitcoind to crash with out logging something.
I’d actually admire any assist with this. I am discovering it actually exhausting to debug as a result of I’ve to go away my pc working in a single day to see if it crashes each time I attempt one thing new.
