Bitcoin: Reclaim disk space in Bitcoin Core full node

Restoring disk space in Bitcoin Core node with FulCrum

As the Bitcoin user population grows, sheet control is becoming more and more important. In this article, we look at how to restore the disk space back in the Bitcoin Core node, which operates in the system where Fulcrum is installed.

background

Bitcoin core is a popular and widely used full cell implementation for Bitcoin. It is responsible for filling and updating the Bitcoin block chain and managing events. Unfortunately, due to its resource-intensive nature, Bitcoin core nodes consume significant amounts or disk space.

The current disk size of all Bitcoin core node in all systems is 644 GIB. This can lead to performance problems and increased storage costs over time.

Fulcrum and Transaction Index

One key factor that affects the use of a high album is the indexing of events with Fulcrum, a hub -specific implementation that allows you to find faster and more efficient blocks. By default, FulCrum uses the Transaction Index (TXIDEX) as a pencil mechanism, which can only help reduce the use of memory only through significant malfunctions.

Qualifying Node

As you have noticed, the current system configuration includes Txindex, but it is not a qualifying node. This means that all transactions have been disturbed on the plate, even if they are currently not used or referenced in the block chain. While this may seem convenient, it really contributes to the use of a high disc and slows the network.

Restoring disk space

If you want to get back with Bitcoin Core -Yydy’s disk space on Fulcrum, follow the thesis:

• Disable TXINDEX : Set the txidex 'configuration option in the' FALSE 'node assembly file (eg/etc/bitcoin.conf). This prevents the event index and reduces the use of memory.

Bash

#etc/bitcoin.conf

Txindex = wrong

• Add RAM : Additional memory to the system by adding it to the node configuration file “solved memory” configuration option (eg “/etc/bitcoin.conf). For example:

Bash

#etc/bitcoin.conf

Resolved memory = 1024MIB

• Use faster disk storage : Consider updating the system hard disk or Solid-State (SSD) to improve overall performance and reduce the use of the disk.

• Observe and adjust : Keep an eye on the use of the node plate and adjust its assembly to ensure optimal performance if necessary.

Additional tips

• Make sure you are using a recent version or Bitcoin core that supports Fulcrum, such axle 1.19.x or later.

• If you have previously introduced the transaction index but want to disable it, you can do it by setting the txindex 'to false and then restart the node.

conclusion

By following the thesis, you should be able to restore the record space in your Bitcoin core in Full node with Fulcrum. Be sure to monitor the node performance regularly and adjust its configuration to ensure optimal operation if necessary.
