Node shut down without notice and deleted my wallet
See original GitHub issueWhat happened?
I’ve been making a rescan for days and ironfish node shut down without notice. I restart the node but ironfish created a new default wallet. My original wallet is lost right now. I did not export my account before. while I’ve been rescaning, node was not synced but I was shown as SYNCED.

ironfish.log
file does not have timestamps, hence I don’t think it will be useful however I shared relevant section of the log output.
I can also give you a ssh access to the node if you are curious for further research.

It is confusing! The
accountName
config option should really be called something likeaccountsDatabaseName
.Setting
accountName
todefault
changes to the database that has your account,penta
.Thanks for your patience with this issue!
Unfortunately, I see only default account. Actually, at the first beginning, I created another account named
penta
and deleteddefault
one 😃Incident happened when I was making a
rescan
operation. It was stuck and my node was far behind the current height. For instance, at the date 13.09.2022 10:08 UTC, current height was 182133 but my node’s height was 177918. After that, suddenly node stopped (of course, rescan command stopped, too). Then I started node byironfish start --datadir=/home/iron/.ironfish
and I got the result that I shared with you.Some outputs about the issue:
