Error: Error starting master database on storagenode: group: stat config/storage/blobs: no such file or directory

dseah · December 11, 2020, 4:08pm

I am starting a new node with new identity authorised. However, i come across this error:

2020-12-11T16:00:24.862274611Z 2020-12-11T16:00:24.861Z INFO Operator email {“Address”: “…”}

what could have possibly gone wrong?

Before the start you need to setup the node: https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli/storage-node#setting-up-the-storage-node
This change has been made to protect your old node from the disqualification, if your storage is gone for any reason.

I have the same problem.

ori · December 12, 2020, 2:25pm

I have tried it, but it didn’t work.

Alexey · December 12, 2020, 2:28pm

Hello @ori,
Welcome to the forum!

What the command you have tried and what is it showed?

ori · December 12, 2020, 2:29pm

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300

-p 14002:14002

–mount type=bind,source="/root/storj/",destination=/app/config
–name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Alexey · December 12, 2020, 2:30pm

it will definitely fail, if you didn’t run your node with a -e SETUP=true option first, as described there:

https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli/storage-node#setting-up-the-storage-node

ori · December 12, 2020, 2:32pm

docker run --rm -e SETUP=“true”
–mount type=bind,source="/root/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode/",destination=/app/identity
–mount type=bind,source="/root/storj/",destination=/app/config
–name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

I did this before.

ori · December 12, 2020, 2:36pm

The path was wrong, and it has been resolved. Thank you!

I have a same issue. Over the couple of years installed storj many times with no problems. Yesterday stuck at the same place. Tried to find solution here in forum, but could not

If i run setup, get this:

node4@node4:~ $ docker run --rm -e SETUP=“true” --mount type=bind,source="/home/node4/storj/4/cert4/",destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source="/home/node4/storj/4/data4",destination=/app/config --name storagenode4 storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Error: storagenode configuration already exists (/app/config)

If try to run the node, it did not:

I even tried manually create those folders, but it did not helped.

@Alexey looks like your consultation is needed again

Thank you.

Alexey · May 4, 2021, 8:16am

You have /home/node4/storj/4/data4/config.yaml already, please, remove it first.

The storage must be empty for a new node. This is for protection of your earnings, if you run the setup by mistake in the second time. So, you should understand what are you doing and as a last resort to fail, if config file already exist.

storescott · September 20, 2023, 5:01am

I also have this error. I’m using Oracle Linux 9.

Error: Error starting master database on storagenode: group:
--- stat config/storage/blobs: no such file or directory
--- stat config/storage/temp: no such file or directory
--- stat config/storage/garbage: no such file or directory
--- stat config/storage/trash: no such file or directory

I’ve tried stopping then removing the docker container and re-running the update command. I’m running as root but ran as a user the first time. I’ve double checked my paths. Podman was installed from dnf. The machine is a VM on a Synology NAS. I’ve run sealert -l “*” a bunch of times and cleared out any related selinux issues. Not sure what to try next.

Thanks for your help

Scott

Alexey · September 20, 2023, 8:15am

Hello @storescott,
Welcome to the forum!

Why do not run docker directly on Synology?

Please show your mount options in your podman run command, and result of this command:

df -T --si

Is it a new node or worked one?

storescott · September 20, 2023, 11:08am

Great question. I was looking for isolation from my network and thought this would be the best way but I suppose I could setup the docker container to only use an isolated network port too? Do you recommend any specific synology instructions?

I’m setting up a brand new node.

I have a container running on synology now, thanks.

I’m also facing the same problem while trying to deploy a second node on the same server. The first one is working fine and the parameters are similar, just followed the sequence number for port and path.
This is my command and parameters:

docker run -d
–restart=always
-p 28968:28967/tcp
-p 28968:28967/udp
-p 14003:14002
-e WALLET=“XXX”
-e EMAIL=“XXX”
-e ADDRESS=“XXX:28968”
-e STORAGE=“4619GB”
–mount type=bind,source=“/root/.local/share/storj01/identity/storagenode/”,destination=/app/identity
–mount type=bind,source=“/root/storj/01/”,destination=/app/config
–name storj01
storjlabs/storagenode:latest

and I get this:

I use docker on debian, what am I doing wrong?

I just added the parameter --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \ and now it is working fine, Thanks anyway!!!
