I had a fully synced node with a lightning node and my Alby Hub running successfully on my Umbrel PC installation that was a migrated upgrade from the original Umbrel duel boot version running on Lynx. I ended up having to replace my internal fan. which caused the system to shut down when it got to…

If the disk filled up earlier (e.g., during a sync attempt before this log snippet), it might’ve corrupted the database, and now bitcoind can’t proceed past loading it. To test this, you’d need to check disk usage with df -h on the /data/.bitcoin directory. If it’s near capacity (say, <1 GB free), t…

my bitcoin.conf points to umbrel.bitcoin.conf , i updated the txindex=1 to txindex-0 using find and replace, I saved the changes and i checked it by reopening using nano instead of sudo nano, it showed my changes, then i restarted the bitcoin app and it keeps saying restarting , i checked the logs, …

The log references debug.log for details… To confirm SSD health, run: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda (Replace /dev/sda with your device from lsblk.) Look for “FAILED” health, high wear (e.g., >90% used), or uncorrectable errors. If your ssd is failing, this corruption makes sense.

i can’t run the check on the device, only the ssd device that’s internal will correctly list the results. it keeps wanting a type and I can’t get it to use any of the types listed

To troubleshoot the issue with running smartctl on the correct SSD device, follow these steps: Identify the correct device: Run lsblk to list all block devices and identify your SSD (e.g., /dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1 for NVMe drives). If the SSD is internal, it’s likely /dev/sda or /dev/nvme0n1. Conf…
