I’m operating Bitcoin core on a raspberry pi with an exterior ssd. I’m utilizing this line within the bitcoin.conf to maneuver block storage onto the ssd: blocksdir=/media/bitcoinstorage/.bitcoin/blocks

Nonetheless, after I run bitcoind, blocks nonetheless get written to the default location at ~/.bitcoin/blocks

That is what I’ve tried up to now:

Working with these flags:

bitcoind -conf=path/to/conf -blockdir=/media/bitcoinstorage/.bitcoin/blocks

Precreating the .bitcoin/blocks directories within the desired location.

Setting permissions on each directories concerned (media and bitcoinstorage) to 777 to no avail. The default permissions for utilizing /media required sudo – I do not know a lot about how permissions work and in the event that they’re inherited so I am guessing this may need one thing to do with it.

Every time in between I’ve deleted the .bitcoin listing completely and accomplished bitcoin-cli cease earlier than making an attempt once more. It looks like it doesn’t matter what I do I can’t change the default blocks storage location.

Any assist can be appreciated right here. Thanks 🙂
