This references that before moving data the node should already be running. Should it be started with regular fast sync command? After data is copied into the datadir - should the node be started with sync or snap mode?

1.the node should not running before moving data 2.after perpare the data just start the geth client with fast or snap mode

  1. the snapshot data is just presyncing data,not the same meaing in the command line

I was struggling with this question too.

What has worked for me is downloading the snapshot and starting node with snapshot data copied over into data dir without the genesis block

lokeshratnam09 commented 3 years ago

@cyberskycat by using above command how many days to get synced geth node and which version of geth you will take it for .??

lokeshratnam09 commented 3 years ago

so you mean you have not downloaded config and genesis file, not initialised the genesis.json etccc.? only ran command to download and extract snapshot worked for you?
