The file settings.json is replicated into /Volumes/Crucial X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin/testnet3 and /Volumes/Crucial X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin/testnet3/testnet3.

The settings.json file contains:


{
    "_warning_": "This file is automatically generated and updated by Bitcoin Core. Please do not edit this file while the node is running, as any changes might be ignored or overwritten."
}



I reproduce the last log above.

Let me know if you need anything else to have more info.
