Re: Safe to restart Core after out of space crash?

I just want to continue using it normally.

I fixed the out of space issue, restarted Core and let it continue catching up with the blockchain, and it seems to work.
The space issue affected only the chainstate, not the blocks (it runs in pruned mode).

But I do wonder if there may be some inconsistency in the chainstate or block data, despite the fact that it doesn't complain and everything seems to work fine.


By the way, I've had it crash twice due to disk space. The second time the GUI's error message complained about something else, maybe a block hash mismatch, but the log only mentioned LevelDB running out of space.
