[Solved] Reddcoin 3.10.3 core crashes: !"cannot load block from disk"
I already rebuilt with the bootstrap files, but now always a few hours after starting up the app crashes with this error message.
First time I’m seeing that error. Reading the error and searching some on the internet, I think the issue might be related to your hard drive.
I would recommend to check the health of your drive.
You can use CrystalDiskInfo, for example.
A portable version (works without installing): https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/crystaldiskinfo_portable.
Can you run that software and post a screenshot of the results?
Thank you, here the screenshot. Looks good i guess. Also my ‘Hard Disk Sentinel Pro’ utility does not signal any errors.
Is your blockchain data saved on D: or E:?
By default, it’s stored on C:.
Can you also post a screenshot of C:?
Copy the current Reddcoin data directory to another partition on another drive. In your case, I would go for F: or G:.
Start Reddcoin Core with -choosedatadir, and use the new location (on F: or G:).
Then, I would monitor if Reddcoin Core still gives an error.
If there is no error, the disk would seem to be the issue.
If it does give an erorr, I will ask you about how you have done the bootstrapping, to make sure you haven’t missed anything.
Ok, will try. Reddcoin data and Redcoin core are in 1 directory on D. Can I copy the whole folder to another drive then? Do I still have to use -choosdatadir?
Or should I only move the /blocks and /chainstate folders to another disk and restart with -choosedatadir?
I can give you the exact instructions, but I need to know if we talk about the same thing.
Contains the wallet software - Reddcoin Core.
Contains the blockchain data and your wallet file, and other necessary files.
Can you post the location of these 2 directories? And a screenshot of the content (so I can see/verify it’s the correct folder).
Don’t move anything, but copy.
You only need to copy your Reddcoin data directory (contains your blockchain folders).
You need to start with -choosedatadir to make sure Reddcoin Core uses the new location.
I will tell you exactly how to the steps, but first I need to know the locations.
Okay, current location is: D:\Reddcoin.
Copy the Reddcoin folder on D: to F:.
So, the new location is: F:\Reddcoin.
Start Reddcoin Core with the -choosedatadit parameter/argument.
The ‘Run’ window should open.
Reddcoin Core will start (from the new location). It will ask you for the data directory.
→ Select F:\Reddcoin as your data directory.
Done, up and running now, will let you know, thanks a lot!
And? Had any issues since running Reddcoin Core on H:?
Hi! All running fine now on H! I guess you were right about the disk. Very strange that 2 disk-checkers do not notice this :-(. Thanks for your help!.
I would recommend you to backup the data on the drive with possible issues.
Glad Reddcoin Core works without issues on H:.
