I didn't check on the running Geth instance and when I executed a function that logs everything in the Blockchain, I had an error that the port I was listening to wasn't responding. I figured out that there wasn't enough space in my storage so I upgraded it. After I upgraded the storage, I've been seeing this error when I try to sync my node:

Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: missing block number for head header hash

I couldn't resolve it nor can I use geth attach. Geth instantly terminates after displaying that error. Is resyncing the only way to solve this? I've also read that after resyncing, the problem will still persist.

Had the same problem. The solution was update to the newest geth version, remove the old chain data geth removedb and resync the chain geth --fast --cache=1024
