I'm running geth on a distant linux Ubuntu machine, I have a total of 12Gb disk space, I thought that would be enough, but it wasn't. I only had the minimal LAMP settings, I installed Geth with these instructions, (I didn't check then but I'm not sure it took that much space). I started syncing and tried installing solC at the same time, and I reached size limit.
This is more of an open question because I can't seem to find convincing answer about WHERE the files are located when I run geth console
or geth --testnet console
. The chaindata
folders are way too small, the whole .ethereum
directory is only 2.1Gb. What is the difference between .ethereum/chaindata
and .ethereum/geth/chaindata
?
Bottomline is is there plan of the geth file architecture for linux ? It seems to be everywhere and I have no idea how to delete everything. I'd also like to know why /usr/
got filled 5 Gb while all the blockchain data is in /<username>/.ethereum
.
