so turns out I somehow accidentally installed startOS on my 500 GB NVMe drive instead of the 4 TB external SSD I intended to use for this node 🤦‍♀️

I swore I chose that external SSD during setup, but I must have made a mistake somewhere (maybe how I formatted/prepped the SSD)

Anyway, I ended up straight up removing the internal drive from the laptop I’m using so startOS had no other option but to use the external drive, now I should be spinning up a FULL un-pruned node!

time to go back to waiting for it to sync ⏳🕰️⌚️⏲️⏰

I’ll always be fond of looking back on this journey, I’m so fucking excited and this thread really captures that!
