My setup was initially Bitcoin core 0.21.0, with IBD carried out very long time again.

Now for some experimental functions, I turned on txindex in bitcoin.conf and reindexing was taking place for hours.

In mid of it, I ended the method, upgraded to 22.0 and began ‘bitcoind’ once more. I picked up re-indexing from the place it was terminated earlier than. However then after I did ‘bitcoin-cli cease’, it bought caught with the next logs:

I waited for 1-2 hour for it to correctly stop. It did not. So I closed my terminal, wishing it should not be screwing up / corrupt the recordsdata!

Gladly it did not. I then enhance dbcache to 4096 (with the hope of accelerating the pace of reindexing) and began bitcoind once more. Now I once more tried terminating with ‘bitcoin-cli cease’ and once more bought cease with these logs:

2021-11-25T17:33:20Z FlushStateToDisk: write cash cache to disk (21179795 cash, 2965556kB) began

I’m not afraid to kill the terminal, because the final line of the log says ‘Writing one thing to disk’. I waited for nearly an hour now.

My system monitor would not present bitcoind, it exhibits this course of: b-shutoff, which isn’t doing any lively Disk learn / writes!

Is it secure to shut the Terminal? I do not wish to do IBD once more! Any measures I can take to keep away from this (bitcoind not stopping) in future?

Thanks.

Edit:
It ended correctly precisely after an hour, as soon as I made this submit:

I’m glad. However any hints to enhance this example?
