I'm following this tutorial for testing an ethereum private blockchain using 3 nodes.

Everything works fine but if I stop the nodes I can't restart them using the same command. Each node was running in a screen session and I stopped the node with Ctrl+c in each screen session (which I think is not a proper way to stop a node...)

I'm new to blockchain and I have no idea how to fix this. I didn't find any relevant informations about this error.

The above command start the first node but I get the same error for the two other nodes.

Fatal: Database has receipts with a legacy format. Please run `geth db freezer-migrate`.

The recommended command doesn't help

geth db freezer-migrate

After that If I restart the node I get the same error again.

Hope you can help.

I just encountered same issue, I believe it's go ethereum bug. As of geth 1.10.21 there is param that you can set - --ignore-legacy-receipts which will cause geth to ignore this check before starting up

Update: This was indeed geth's bug, see github issue. Bug fix was merged. I assume the fix will be published in next (right now version is v1.10.23) release.
