Errors after converting to hashstore

Following a forced conversion to hashstore on one of my newer, smaller nodes, I’m now seeing the following errors every hour:

2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      piecesTotal < 0 {"Process": "storagenode", "piecesTotal": -5632}
2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      piecesContentSize < 0   {"Process": "storagenode", "piecesContentSize": -5120}
2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      satPiecesTotal < 0      {"Process": "storagenode", "satPiecesTotal": -5632}
2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      satPiecesContentSize < 0        {"Process": "storagenode", "satPiecesContentSize": -5120}
2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      piecesTotal < 0 {"Process": "storagenode", "piecesTotal": -1024}
2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      piecesContentSize < 0   {"Process": "storagenode", "piecesContentSize": -512}
2025-10-08T04:48:37Z    ERROR   blobscache      satPiecesTotal < 0      {"Process": "storagenode", "satPiecesTotal": -1024}

That’s just a snippet, there are way more reported.

Do I need to recreate the DB’s, or maybe just one of them.

Cheers.

thin mean that you have broken files in picesstore so they can be converted.

3

You may try to delete a prefix database and restart the node.

The blobs directory doesn’t contain an files, they were all converted correctly.

Which db, there’s none with “prefix” in the name.

Well, duhhhh. Guess I need my eyes fixed (again).

Removing the used_space_per_prefix.db seems to have cleared this up (for now ??)

6

Well, it didn’t throw the errors at start-up, which it had been doing previously. But an hour later they’re back.

Guess recreating the used_space_per_prefix.db didn’t do the trick.

I found and followed this: What can I delete on storagenodes

Fingers crossed that this clears it.
