I’m running Turbo Geth and quickly coming up to my 1TB limit on my NUC. I’m wondering what’s the best and recommended way of adding more storage to my NUC to run multiple packages (Eth1 and Eth2)
I saw this thread which I think should help me change the directory I’m using, although I’m a little unclear on how to designate a new drive as I’m not too familiar with linux/CLI.
Also, I was wondering what was the best way to approach this, if it’s a SSD attached to a USB cable, or if I should only run say Turbo Geth on the other drive and keep the others on the NUC SSD.
Even if you are familiar with the CLI the steps in the thread are kind of error prone so you’d be careful if you ever try because there is no magic bottom to go back…
If I understand your answers correctly, Im still not sure exactly what to do. I don’t care to have certain packages on one disk and some on another, but I would be happy if I could just plug in an additional SSD and have that be recognized by the system.
Is that possible?
If it isn’t, it seems like I’ll either have to replace the main 1TB internal storage with a 2TB one, or stop using Turbo Geth and use regular Geth until you guys are able to support additional storage drives?
I think you do. That’s really up to you but maybe running a different client or trying to make sure if TurboGeth is working ok, or if it’s expected to get lighter in the near future are a good way to start.
As I said in the other thread supporting external SSD management in DAppNode’s UI it’s on our roadmap but unfortunately we won’t be able to address it anytime soon.
It definitely would be a killer feature that I’d love to see and give me a lot more flexibility over what to run so hopefully you guys get around to it sooner than later, but I understand there’s probably a million things on your plate right now with the eth2 launch coming up.
