![]() I was planning to use the shared disk functionality (or connect directly to the USB) and use the external USB disk I already have with a pretty much up to date datadir. I was planning to not use emulated disk, at least (not) for bitcoin datadir. Yes I know your datadir is on an external drive, but Virtualbox emulating the disk controller means that bitcoind will take a serious performance hit. Maybe the fact my Intel CPU supports VT-x is of help maybe this is the trick that kept me away of problems why are you running bitcoind and ElectrumX inside a virtual machine (if I'm understanding the discussion correctly), when disk ops are notoriously slow on an emulated disk-as-file and disk controller? I don't know why I would keep enabled Hyper-V I've been using my computer very well with it off. For a while I was even installing only x86 systems (Windows?) on VBox because the 圆4 failed. ![]() I don't know if it's because of those problems, I really don't remember, but my host Win10 doesn't have Hyper-V installed. And I remember I had errors related to Hyper-V in VirtualBox, including that black screen. I was using VirtualBox - very rarely, but still - for many years. I've done my reading, it was indeed interesting and useful, thank you for that. Or just remove virtual box if you don't need it. ![]() You can google for more but here are a few links: But I'll keep it as a backup option if I have to get back to a VM.Īnd for extra fun if you still have VirtualBox installed and running and since Docker uses Hyper-V.there are more steps that you have to go though at times. MyNode looks overly restrictive for my needs and I feel like even if that problem gets answered for me, I'll run very soon into another problem. It would also make more sense than an extra VM. I think that I'm missing something very simple there. When I get some more time again, I'll give another shot to EPS on Windows. I think that for the shared folder I need the guest additions installed since that's not seen, I'm stuck. The same NTFS drive is seen (as Shared Folder) in the Debian VM, and myNode is also Debian. Also the guest additions CD is not seen.Ģ. The drive is indeed NTFS, but, I think that the problem is not that because:ġ. I indeed installed "VirtualBox Extension Pack", but it didn't help. Takes some time to get a reply now and then, but they always have replied. They do have the standard telegram / discord / other support that you can ask them directly about. Getting all the other stuff to run with the data directory someplace else should be no issue.īUT, since it was setup as an all in one, plug and play appliance I don't know if they made any assumptions about what files are where for other integrated applications. What filesystem is the external drive formatted with? If it's NTFS mynode may not have installed that driver by default.Īlso keep in mind, in general I don't know if it's going to work at all with mynode. I do have a Debian configured on a Virtual Box, with DataDir just fine, but I don't know how to make bitcoind start automatically with the system (and with that datadir) I didn't go with other steps yet there. This is a special problem, since I am badly inexperienced with Linux.Ģ.1. Anything I can install on Virtual Box as long as Bitcoin DataDir remains on the USB attached HDD. Make an Electrum server and a block explorer work on WindowsĢ. I tried to use VBox Shared Folders feature (which works for me on the clean Debian!) and I don't find anywhere the corresponding folder.ġ. I tried to insert Guest Additions CD, I cannot find it anywhere to run the additions. But, you know what? I'll give it a try a bit later and I'll come back with this. If I remember correctly, the guest additions made me troubles. I tried to mount the USB drive directly into Virtual Box and it didn't work out. The point is that since bitcoind worked well on Windows, I have already the data pretty much up to date on that HDD and I would rather not spend ages for a resync (I also don't have space for moving the data too much around).Įven more, that USB disk is only 500GB, which is fine for the blockchain, but not enough for the rest, hence that vdi should stay where VBox created it, where I do have other ~250GB free. I only want bitcoin core use that specific data dir. ![]() No, I didn't move the vdi disk file, don't want to mix with that.
