Ran into issues trying to run a node from a separate drive. Every time I started it couldn’t find the download blockchain file and was trying to redownload from scratch. Tried to fix it and I made a real mess of of the files.

Gave up. Moved the 2TB drive to my primary drive, reinstalled Linux, and started bitcoin core process from scratch.

Put a 500GB HDD with windows as my secondary drive. I haven’t decided if I should keep windows as a alternative boot option or format it and use it for backup storage. I also now have a spare 500GB SSD I need to find a project for
