After Ver 0.5.3 upgrade: electrs database errors prevent it from starting

Support and Troubleshooting
1

I am running Ver 0.5.3 on an RPI. I’ve been using this device for over a year with no issues.

After the 0.5.3 upgrade, electrs is not starting. I am seeing the following message in the log:

electrs_1 | thread ‘main’ panicked at ‘DB::put failed: Error { message: “Corruption: block checksum mismatch: expected 3555791665, got 3849520208 in /data/db/bitcoin/1197733.sst offset 178101390 size 2537” }’, src/db.rs:340:14

There is a troubleshooting post from Darthcoin (quoted below) that should fix the problem. However the file hierarchy has changed in Umbrel updates and these instructions need to be updated. I believe I just need to repair and reindex the electrs database. Any guidance on how to do this is appreciated.

See if there’s some file corruption or the index is broken. If there is such thing, run this command to repair / reindex electrs database:

sudo systemctl stop umbrel-startup && sudo rm -rf ~/umbrel/electrs/!(electrs.toml) && sudo systemctl start umbrel-startup

Then wait for one day (to allow electrs to reindex) and try connecting your BlueWallet to your Umbrel (or any wallet that supports Electrum) and see if that makes any difference.

Uninstalling and reinstalling electrs seems to do the trick:
