[Steem on RPi] Sync Failed

Hi, @etainclub is here.

Finally, I downloaded block data which is 210GB as of August 7, 2021 and decompressed it into the SD card of my RPi.

But when I executed the following command, it occurred an error which says 'Error opening database`.

$ ./run.sh start

Here is the full error message.

I tried the --force-open option like this

$ ./run.sh start --force-open

I am sure this is the right command but the same error occurred.

@ety001 could you guide me what's wrong here?
I followed your post

• downloaded steem_witness.lz4 (2021-08-07 version)
• decompressed it into sd card. the blockchain folder has been successfully generated
• run the ./run.sh start

here is the source of my steem-docker-ex for arm64
https://github.com/EtainLove/steem-docker-ex

The Dockerfile used to build the steemd image for arm64. I think the MIRA is on, right?

Anyone has any idea what's wrong?

CMD ["sh", "-c", "${STEEMD_BIN}"]

The weird thing is the error message which says about "timestamp":"2021-08-10T11:55:08.
It is future timestamp since the block data is until 2021-08-07.

I also tried the 'replay-blockchain' but it was stuck due to no space left error.
Is the replay way to go?
