Title: [Bitcoin Core] Where is -datadir -- how to use blocks in alternative directory? Post by: C. Bergmann on March 20, 2014, 06:36:43 PM Hi,
with bitcoin-qt I used -datadir=<directory> to redirect qt on another directory to save the blocks (had them on another hd). My c:\ is pretty full, the complete blockchain would be too much, so it is important for me to redirect the client to use the btc. Now I updated the client, and it has to reconstruct alle those blocks. I think it won't fit in my hd. I tried to use -datadir in the console, but it didn't work. My .conf still has the line datadir=<d:\...>, but it seems not to work. Anyone knows more? <b>edit</b>: solved. I should have known the difference between console and command line Title: Re: [Bitcoin Core] Where is -datadir -- how to use blocks in alternative directory? Post by: yabtcl on March 20, 2014, 08:35:57 PM you can't use -datadir on the configuration file:
From https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File Quote Bitcoin.conf Configuration File All command-line options (except for -datadir and -conf) may be specified in a configuration file, and all configuration file options may also be specified on the command line. Command-line options override values set in the configuration file. |
