This is related to Geth's Freezer functionality, which "moves ancient chain segments out of the active database into immutable append-only flat files."

The message you're seeing is informational, so it's nothing to worry about.

Geth's freeze() function (in freezer.go), where that message is output, does the following:

"freeze is a background thread that periodically checks the blockchain for any import progress and moves ancient data from the fast database into the freezer."

Freezer was implemented in PR #17814, and is described in detail in the PR.

  • “Deep froze chain segment”message is followed by message loop should I worry about it?

  • Hmm, not sure. Can't immediately see where that is in the code. So the actual message is "message loop"?

  • Yes keep repeating itself on a mesage loop

  • If you look at the hash ID you'll probably see that the message is not so much repeating itself as repeatedly doing a similar thing.
