I can't work out why the file shouldn't exist, or what changes the second time I run the service.

This is running on ubuntu 24.04 - I followed this tutorial which works like a charm: https://docs.ghostlogs.xyz/blog/spin_up_bera_node/ - I just don't know how to stop and then restart things so they run correctly. I have tried with 0.2.0-alpha.4 and 0.2.0-alpha.2

hi @JasoonS can you try main and see if this is resolved?

[JasoonS]

can you try main and see if this is resolved?

Will give it a try when I get a chance and let you know.

I got this now on the latest version, maybe I need to do a complete resync from block zero and can't use this snapshot?
