rm: cannot remove '/home/[user]/btc/bitcoin-core/blocks/blk01253.dat': Bad message
The same error message when I tried running bitcoind -reindex
Info:
OS: Ubuntu
Bitcoind version: 0.18
External harddrive
I've already tried to sudo rm -rf the whole blocks directory, but I get that "Bad message" error on a few of .dat files.
3This is an OS or hardware-level problem. It might indicate filesystem corruption or disk problems. You could ask about it at askubuntu.com or Unix SE, but I don't think it's really a Bitcoin issue per se. – Nate Eldredge – 2019-06-01T23:54:03.323
