I have download a new bitcoin package from official site. And then I ran it with daemon mode also with default configuration (Default means not bitcoin.conf file was created in ~/.bitcoin/.bitcoin.conf). After ran 2 hours. I got stuck, and the process exit. When I checked my disk with:
df -lh
And then, I got those:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 20G 20G 118M 100% /
devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 3.9G 233M 3.6G 6% /run
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/vdb 800G 7.7G 792G 1% /data
tmpfs 783M 0 783M 0% /run/user/1000
tmpfs 783M 0 783M 0% /run/user/1001
And I googled for a while, but could't find a good way to move all sync's data to the /dev/vdb. I understand what my mistake came from, but I just fixed it by move data and then put a new configuration with --data-dir=/dev/vdb. and then keep sync it.
So, How do I reach that?
Rather than adding —data-dir to the config file, try starting bitcoind by running
bitcoind —data-dir=[your directory] [whatever other commands you want to run]. – chytrik – 2018-07-19T08:46:55.443@chytrik Did you mean run the bitcoind with
--data-dirlike./bitcoind --data-dir=/data? – Frank AK – 2018-07-19T08:48:29.137^yea! Sorry I accidentally submitted my comment half-written, and had to edit to add the rest. Mobile keyboard problems :p – chytrik – 2018-07-19T08:49:53.423
Anyway, Thank you so much. And could you also point me how to move the old data to the new place? – Frank AK – 2018-07-19T08:52:04.750
1best way on unixoide systems to copy data over different media is rsync in a terminal. I usually go "rsync -rpogDtW <source_dir> <target_dir>". Further details are not bitcoin relevant, and should then be asked in another stackexchange forum. – pebwindkraft – 2018-07-23T06:59:12.707
