Change DB directory

Open JurajNL opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

This is more of a feature request. I have a VPS with Windows on it. I work with two partitions. "C" & "D". So Bolero is saving the DB on C. But now IRI won't sync after a couple of weeks because i'm low on storage on "C". Is there a way to set the DB on an other partition?

Thanks, Juraj

You can create a symlink via Commandline. That should work pretty well as workaround.

That's exactly what I did.

Create a new directory on D: Move the entire .bolero directory to the new directory on D: Then used: mklink /D oldpath newpath

Yeah I've done that yesterday. Only it started to sync from start. So db directory was +-20GB after moving. And after the first startup it started with a empty DB. So now we wait and sync :-)

Maybe it'll be a good idea to implement this(directory database location) as an option with the installation. It'll add more to the usability for CarrIOTA Bolero.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone!
