My computer got shut off due to a power outage and when I rebooted my bitcoin core it was stuck on connecting to peers. I was told to do a -reindex-chainstate with dbcache set as high as possible. Even with these high settings of dbcache=7000 and 16 core cpu, why does reindexing take more than 24+ hours? Also I'm not using a SSD, but a regular HDD.
What does "suck on connecting to peers" mean? And what told you to do a reindex chainstate? – G. Maxwell – 2018-10-05T20:17:30.470

Your right. he just mentions dbcache. I must have gotten it from another related question where someone had the same issue of connecting to peers. This happened right after my VM box got shut off unexpectedly. – Patoshi パトシ – 2018-10-06T03:40:35.823
