Title: Keep getting database corrupted
Post by: ScaryHash on November 29, 2013, 02:15:33 PM
I'm trying to install Bitcoin-qt 8.5 on my Linux Mint 14 mining machine, which has been running stable for weeks on end.

I keep getting database corrupted errors when I download blocks. It gets to about block 74 weeks left then it says database corrupted.

This is very weird, because I just installed it on my Windows machine, and the windows machine completed the download overnight.
I thought Linux was more stable than windows.

In any case, is there a way I can take the block database off the Windows machine and put it on the linux machine? I think I have a big enough flash drive to do it...somewhere...

Thanks.

I have the same problem and posted about it in the newbie topic.

The error is happening on 28th or 29th Sep 2012.  Could you confirm this (open up the debug window)?

Thanks
