Hi together,
my question is related to the location of the bitchain under linux. The only useful topic I found is here but it is for windows:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=171991.msg1789690#msg1789690Why do I ask this?
I installed the 0.8.5beta-client on an encrypted sd-card under Debian. I read that you need at least 9GB for the blockchain so I decided to use an external "drive" because the internal drive of my Netbook is quite small.
Well, everything works fine and the QT-client synchronized from around 250 weeks to 79 weeks where he stopped with the error message: "Error: Disk space is low!"
I think Bitcoin doesn't save the bitchain in same directory as the client, isn't it? At least under Windows it is stored under "user data". I think under Linux it is the same because my SD-card with the client still has the same free space, nothing changed. At the moment I have 12GB free space on the card.
So my question: Does anybody know where BTC saves the chain and how I can relocate it?
Thank you in advance!
