Understanding Bitcoinda and its file system
As a Bitcoin user, it is crucial to understand the internal action of Bitcoin software, including Bitcoind. In this article, we will explore how to determine if Bitcoind is synchronized with the network.
Bitcoinda basics
When installing a bitcoind on your Ubuntu system, it creates a new structure from a directory that reflects your configuration and data files. Here is a review of the appearance of a file system:
./Database: Bitcoin database, block data storage, transactions and other relevant data.
./Blocks/index: Database of all blocks in the Bitcoin network, with timing marks and transaction numbers.
- Other sub -taxes: contain different files specific to each block or transaction.
Synchronization with network
To confirm that Bitcoind is synchronized with a Bitcoin network, you can check the following files:
./BasebaseDirectory:
* If the file size is approximately 16 kb (16,000 bytes) and is not too large, it has not yet been synchronized.
2.
* The last block time mark in this directory should be close to the current time.
- Other sub -tans:
* If you have names with names like 0001.txt,0002.txt or similar, this indicates that they are not yet synchronized.
command “du -h”
The command is used to evaluate the use of directory space. When you startDu -h./Database, here is what you will see:
- The first line shows the size of each file in the directory, with the unit (k
,metc.) and the number of directors (/) on the left.
- The following few lines show the estimated total size of files and sub -verector.
For example:
16k ./database
59m ./blocks/index
29 g ./blocks
646m ...
In this case, the first line indicates that the./Base Data ‘directory has approximately 16 kb (1.6 MB) of data.
Conclusion
To confirm that Bitcoind is synchronized with the Bitcoin network, examine the size of the ./././ block/index directory. If they are not too large, it is likely that the block of the block will still last. However, as a general rule, these directors should be about 1 to 10 MB in size after 10 hours, depending on network conditions.
Additional Tips
- You can check the current time starting ‘data’ or using tools like ‘time’.
- If you are concerned about the very long synchronization procedure, consider increasing the disc space available to Bitcoind (
-d).
- Check the file system regularly if any changes that may indicate synchronization problems.
