I get an "System error: Database I/O error" with 1.3b when catching up. I hadn't run the wallet for a while and was previously on 1.2, i have tried clearing all data (of course backing up wallet.dat first) but still the same error occurs.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
I get this A LOT and it is frustrating. I believe someone posted above that this is due to one of the common used peers doing something weird. Pretty much the only solution is as above...delete the blockchain and begin again.
**Once you have it downloaded, make a backup copy somewhere so next time you will be ahead.
We believe this is resultant of the move to LevelDB at 1.1, and bad peers still existing. Adding banscore=1 to your .conf can help.
I'm now up to date, had some errors along the way but i believe the banscore in conf helped. Thanks!
