The Beacon stops syncing at slot 8854183. It has created 64999 directories in the blobs folder and the fs (ext4 in this case) does not allow any more (without setting dir_nlink feature)
A workaround is setting dir_nlink on the ext4 fs:
tune2fs -O dir_nlink
Maybe the client should try to avoid this by using a deeper directory structure to store hashes?
Has this worked before in a previous version?
Unknown
🔬 Minimal Reproduction
1) Put data dir on normally formated ext4 fs
2) Try to sync beacon chain
