Title: location of block chain on disc Post by: stancoin on April 11, 2013, 05:04:42 PM I installed bitcoin-qt on D: partition rather than C: because space on C: is tight. :) I hoped the entire structure would also end up on D: as well as the .exe etc. However no such luck. The blockchain and some other files (about 8Gb's worth) all still ended up on C:. Did I miss some option during installed? Or, is there a way to relocate the blockchain for my existing install (so I don't have to download the entire blockchain again?
Thanks Title: Re: location of block chain on disc Post by: Gabi on April 11, 2013, 05:06:46 PM You didn't miss anything. But yes you can relocate it adding the -datadir command somewhere. Oh and first manually move the blockchain in the new location you chose.
