I synchnorized Ethereum blockchain in my AWS Ubuntu 16.04 server with 110GB Hard Disk.
The command I used is geth --syncmode=fast --cache=1024
According to bitinfocharts, the total size of Ethereum Blockchain is 103.10 GB total as of today (2017.11.26).
After synchronization is completed, I typed dh -h
to find out how much disk space it consumed.
It is ONLY USED 38GB, which is 1/3 of the blockchain size!
Does anyone know why?
EDITED:
From this link, 5chdn answered that the Geth only offers database pruning on initial sync.
Is that the reason? what If i want to synchronized full blockchain node?
What command should I use to sync the full node?
