Let me add one additional thing.

I installed via snap.

It is working in the gui. I am currently a couple weeks behind but that will catch up shortly.

When I launch in the command line from /snap/bitcoin-core/current/bin directory ./bitcoind -prune=550.

So is my whole problem that I am just launching from the wrong location and trying to download the blockchain twice.

And sorry for the noob questions.

Still producing an error message with the new sata cable.

Not seeing any hardware errors.

With pruning off, I was able to get pretty far through the process before running out of space but with pruning on, it fails and then I have to start over.

Cpu and memory are both clean at this point.
Did you check the temperature during IBD?

It doesnt show up in the list of sensors. I was only able to monitor during stress testing which was okay.

Read this thread on Github. The suggestions are to check hardware: memtest, CPU and disk temperature. Any chance your fans are dusty? If it's not hardware, that leaves software. Try if a different OS helps.


Okay I have started running tests.

SMART shows 0 errors. Memory is fairly new as well (about a year old with little use) and I have 16G

I seem to be having a problem with my initial sync. Part way through I get an error of

Falal LevelDB error: Corruption: block checksum mismatch.

I have a brand new 500G ssd which is showing no errors so its not likely hardware.

The problem is that I have to run a pruned node since the 500g drive is not large enough to run without it but when that fails, I have to reindex which starts it over. This has happened multiple times now (at different locations).

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
