Yeah FAFO as always.

Don't get me wrong. Everything what happend is mine. No issues with software. On the plus side, I am learning a lot for example how to back up and restore start9 server.

Current state of affairs:

1. My server with new 2TB disk kept on crashing like before the swap. So I wondered if this might be some issue with the machine itself rather than SSD ... or both? I tried to look into the logs which was hard as it was crashing actually when I was not watching. I am not that advanced in Linux to check what is going on and I could not find the clue (was looking for weny erros related to SSD in dmesg and nothing found) until I thought about bips the machine plays when started and maybe there may be something with the memory (memory parity).

2. In the meantime my old SSD was syncing on another machine where I wanted to put pruned Knots + Datum.

3. So I decided to swap the discs back to have new disk on new machine and old one back on old machine. It was going fine from the start. I synced Core, put LND, CLN back to work, elcrtrs was synced to. I could have stopped on this but no, when you FAFO you FAFO till the end. Switched from Core to Knots with the purpose to have it pruned later. It was still working and then I thought maybe, just maybe I will not prune it and it will be working for some time more since I had still 60GB free space. And then elctrs crashed and whole machine crashed.

4. When I booted it up Knots asked me gently to resync the chain and so now I am here - 86% synced, LND, CLN stopped and I do not know how they will handle that. I am prepared to have all my channels closed. Since that it crashed again. Now it is working for 2 days. And in the meantime there is new machine with 2TB syncing from zero.

The new machine with 2TB is fine and I will put there bitcoin + lightning stack eventually but I would also like to bring the old one to life and than have it for Knots + Datum.

FAFO, FAFO and then FAFO
