~/.bitcoin (which is a softlink to a separate vmware virtual drive) dir is now almost 1tb

[kosuodhmwa]

it's happened after i

• used version 27.x (built yesterday from master branch)

but i don't no it's because of new version 27.0 or not. (?)

bitcoin.conf file:

proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
listen=1
bind=127.0.0.1

server = 1
rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
rpcport = 8332
rpcuser = myuser
rpcpass = mypass
txindex = 1

i was thinking it's enough to use 1tb drive for ~/.bitcoin directory (which contains the full block chain and other things)

thank you very much for your feedback :-)

that vmware virtual disk (where ~/.bitcoin dir is softlinked) is a separate physical sdd drive on win10 host (with vmware player free)

almost 1tb size

Can you share the sizes of the largest folders?

I don't use txindex right now, but I could imagine that it requires several GB of space.

Now i've set it up without that "txindex" parameter = enabled... still the same issue...

-> Screenshot #2 is the VirtualBox Host System location for the virtual drive that shows the space problem in VM

So a ~1TB disk is not enough for the .bitcoin data directory wtf!?

-> I also use Tor since yesterday. Before i was running it without tor for a few days (sync blockchain etc). After set up and configure tor, i runt into that problem.

Maybe it's an issue with tor and, e.g., log files!?

Unsetting txindex does not delete the txindex from storage.

Can you please share the sizes of the largest folders in the datadir?

Thank you very much, will look on it ASAP! :-)
