I installed Bitcoin Core on a Raspberry Pi and tried to sync the block chain using bitcoind.
The data is written on an external hard drive (1TB) mounted on the machine.
After I run the `bitcoind -daemon` command, the block chain starts syncing, but after a few hours it stops.
This is what I have at the end of the debug.log file:

Does anyone have an idea? Thank you!
Hi,
Have you touched you external drive ? It mights just be a partition problem. Try to shutdown, remount your drive (specifying the right path to bitcoind).
Don't forget to check the permissions, you'll surely mount the drive as root while bitcoind runs as another user. If it works then you should consider using fstab so the drive is always mounted in the same dir with the same permissions.
