Hi, what about this problem? I formatted the ssd three times on my new Apollo 2 to restart the process. There is a repair/recovery procedure to avoid wasting time? Huh

This is a part of debug.log:

Thanks

shutdown and restart the miner. Turn off completely then turn on. you want to reset the system this way. the chainstate will rebuild itself. Just restarting the node may not clear the error. That has been my solution. These chainstate files are temporary and get rewritten on bitcoind restart and when bitcoind flushes the database memory. If the error continues after several attempts then you could have a corrupt database on the nvme and you'll need to format the nvme. It's why I have a backup nvme. Also, when you restart the apollo bitcoind will take several minutes rewriting the chainstate. You'll see the cpu usage running 100% or close to it as it rebuilds the chainstate and verifies the database. If you interrupt this process by stopping the node you interrupt this process and don't fix the problem. Use the system monitor to look at bitciond running. You'll see cpu usage and disk read/writes as long as that's active bitcoind is running properly.

My apollo II has been running well for months and I've not seen that error again. only during download of IDB. I think it may be power surges or network interruptions that may have caused the problem.

Regarding power surges, you need a good backup power supply with noise suppression. The apollo II power supply seems sensitive to power surges.

It worked again thanks to your reply, many thanks, but now the block counter stop to 785095 for more time and this is the log:
