I’m running Umbrel on a R Pi with a 1TB SSD. In addition to a Bitcoin node I’m running a number of other applications. My Bitcoin node is crashing due to running out of disk space.
What is the easiest way to solve this problem, swap the 1 for a 2TB SSD or add another 1TB SSD?
I think the best solution is to replace the 1TB HDD with a 2TB one.
If you’re using a Raspberry, the operating system and apps live on the SD card.
I suspect the blockchain is the one asking for more space.
However, it would be a good idea to check the status of the SD card and its capacity.
What would be the best procedure for moving everything from a 1TB SSD to a 2?
What exactly were you trying to communicate in this response?
I think copying the contents of one HDD to the other would be sufficient.
It’s not necessary to clone it, just copy it from one to the other.
This was my process to upgrade/migrate from 1TB to 2TB, hope it helps!
clone it with clonezilla, then boot an Ubuntu live usb to run gparted and grow it.
Did it work well?
I am running into the same problem. As an alternative I might just disable the Full Node option and reduce the amount of Blockchain data (I think it is called “prune” in English)
I’m currently running on the 2TB SSD. Seems to work just fine.
Everything worked out, it was relatively easy:
1. Downloaded Clonezilla Live as a ZIP file from Clonezilla live and flashed it onto a USB stick. Booted Windows PC from this stick and copied the old SSD to the new SSD.
2. Downloaded Gparted Live as a ZIP file from GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD and flashed it onto a USB stick as described. Booted Windows PC from this stick and enlarged the partition.
I probably could have cloned the SSD with another program, but I didn’t want to risk it.
And this one makes me think and I decided to no longer keep my Lightning node running with the current amount. I will heavily reduce it and provide only a BitCoin Core Node to the public:
