Fatal Error on my Node / Timeout after 1 min

No problem. It just seemed very odd that you did not want the logs!

I have run the chkdsk, as recommended from another post and I did post the reults of running it - Is that what you mean by optimize the filesystem or do you mean something else?

Which entry am I meant to be adjusting?

storage2.monitor.verify-dir-writable-interval: 5m0s (because the log shows verifying writability of storage directory)?

storage2.monitor.verify-dir-readable-interval - changed to 1:30

I do not have the other 2 in my config - only the following:

storage2.monitor.verify-dir-writable-interval: 5m0s

Is that this?

storage2.monitor.verify-dir-writable-interval: 5m0s
