My used space goes to the Same value in a loop

Node Operators troubleshooting
1

My node ist running in the newest Version on Windows 10. My Problem ist that the used space keeps resetting to the Same value. I thought its because the filewalker was not able to finish but I saw he finished his Job and in this moment the reset happend. However my drive gets new Data the whole time…

Hello @Brotmesser,
Welcome to the forum!

Please check your databases:

3

Already tried this, all fine

4

do you have any errors, related to a database?

5

I checked everything in sqlite3 Explorer and checked the integrity logs also Look good

6

Do you have database is locked errors in the storagenode logs?

Please also check for errors related to walk|retain|trash|collector.

I found those 2 errors

2024-05-13T07:34:19+02:00 ERROR piecestore failed to add bandwidth usage {“error”: “bandwidthdb: database is locked”, “errorVerbose”: "bandwidthdb: database is locked\n\tstorj.io/storj/storagenode/storagenodedb.

“error”: “pieces error: database disk image is malformed”, “errorVerbose”: "pieces error: database disk image is malformed\n\tstorj.io/storj/storagenode/pieces.(*Store).DeleteExpired

You need to fix this one first

You may also just re-create the corrupted database (with losing all Stat):

does recreating the databases affect my earnings or used Storage?

10

No. But you can re-create only the corrupted one, not all.

11

ty, I will try it. one more question, what does this mean " Wait until all migrations are applied." ?

12

It should apply migrations to the newly created databases (after you removed them and restarted the node). You can see that in the logs. The indicator - the node just up and running without crash.
Then you may stop it and restore databases except corrupted ones.

13

ok I recreated them no my used Storage shows 0mb and slowly fills up again. I assume the filewalker walks over everything and then the correct value will be displayed ? how long will this take ?

14

Depends on your hardware (disks) and an environment (is it a VM?) and amount of data.
Make sure that you do not have errors related to the databases in your logs (search for error|ERROR and database).
