I am running a private ethereum node with a single node. and it creates a folder for the keystore and chaindata But on restart, all the data is gone even the balance as well.

init genesis.json is occurred only once and later only this:

geth --gcmode archive --port 3000 --networkid 15 --nodiscover --datadir=./block-data --maxpeers=2 --rpc --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 8545 --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcapi "eth,net,web3,personal,miner" --allow-insecure-unlock

  • I think maxpeers=2 should be maxpeers 0. I think we need a more complete picture of your startup scripts and testing methodology to confirm that there is indeed something unexpected happening and what is causing it. Also, what version of geth?

Well, I got the solution, when you run the network its saves keychain and nodedata on --datadir. To make the data available while restarting the network 2 points are important :

  1. Don't init again which is geth init genesis.json, it will reset.
  2. Use geth import {DIR} , directory used in --datadir.
