Will update the topic once re-indexing is over.

Not likely, as individual block files are not interchangeable... my "blk01881.dat" file will not be identical to yours.

As above, did you move just the "blocks" or did you move everything including "chainstate"? Huh

Oh, good to know... Shall learn how it actually works.

I have moved everything. Just tried re-indexing again while watching the log and it is stuck on the following line:

Code:
2020-04-XXXXX:XX:XXX Reindexing block file blk00613.dat...

Does not move any further.

I have just registered on this forum to ask about the same issue Smiley

I have previously downloaded full blockchain (~247Gb of ./blocks/) and since moving to the new computer can't make Bitcoin Core to pick it up.

Tried
Code:
-reindex
however the client still downloads from approximately 2012.

Is there a way to debug what exactly is wrong with the cache and fix it in a targeted manner instead of re-downloading >200Gb of data?
