Title: Keep getting database errors (from windows updates, I think) Post by: P_Shep on April 09, 2015, 07:39:26 PM The 3rd in a couple of months and it's getting to be a right pain in the ass as it takes a week to re-scan everything!
How do I configure the core to survive this sort of thing? Title: Re: Keep getting database errors (from windows updates, I think) Post by: Reynaldo on April 09, 2015, 08:53:10 PM What version of the core are you using?
Title: Re: Keep getting database errors (from windows updates, I think) Post by: P_Shep on April 09, 2015, 09:24:04 PM The very latest v0.10.0.
I wouldn't mind if I just needed to re-index a few weeks or something, but every time it's the full 6+ years! Title: Re: Keep getting database errors (from windows updates, I think) Post by: Amph on April 10, 2015, 07:18:11 AM well if the problem is windows update couldn't you just disable it for a week? otherwise if you can afford a ssd, it would sync much faster, it should rebuild in 1-2 hours

Title: Re: Keep getting database errors (from windows updates, I think) Post by: P_Shep on April 10, 2015, 04:33:39 PM Have an SSD, and i7 processor 16GB ram. Still takes a up to a week.
The issue with windows updates it that it indiscriminately resets the machine when it feels like it, before the client has time to shut down properly. corrupts the block chain which then needs re-indexing.

Btw, I occasionally just kill bitcoin instance, but still don't get any database errors. that's linux anyways.
