Do you by any chance have access to the logs from when you started geth? were there any unclean shutdowns?

[mikoim]

I stopeed geth by Ctrl + C about two times for server maintenance but I confirmed it had stopped without errors. Also, the file system (ZFS) has not shown an error yet.

There is any way to collect information to debug this issue?

[MariusVanDerWijden]

@mikoim If you start up your node it will print lines like this, if you had an unclean shutdown:

WARN [03-26|10:10:29.944] Unclean shutdown detected booted=2021-03-17T13:16:42+0000 age=1w1d20h

[MariusVanDerWijden]

With Ropsten being deprecated and this issue getting a bit stale, I'm going to close this for now. Thanks for reporting, if you still experience this, please reopen another issue
