1.Usage

Step 1: Preparation

  • Make sure your hardware meets the suggested requirement.
  • A disk with enough free storage, at least twice the size of the snapshot.

Step 2: Download

As the snapshot is getting larger, now it is difficult to download it by simply wget, you need to use aria2c as it supports resumable transmission. And aria2c may fail sometimes, we provide a script to make it easier.

  • Copy the above snapshot URL.
  • install it first: sudo yum install aria2c
  • download the script: download.sh
  • run: nohup ./download.sh "<paste snapshot URL here>" <your dir> &

Step 3: Uncompress

  • Uncompress will take more than two hours, put it in the background by nohup tar -I lz4 -xvf geth.tar.lz4 &

Step 4: Replace Data

  • First, stop the running bsc client if you have one by kill {pid}, and make sure the client has shut down.
  • Consider backing up the original data if needed: mv ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/chaindata ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/chaindata_backup
  • Replace the data: mv server/data-seed/geth/chaindata ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/chaindata
  • Start the bsc client again and check the logs
