How important is the database? #125

Closed Nebucatnetzer closed 4 months ago

Can we reconstruct the database from the files or do we have to delete the whole cache when the DB gets lost?

As far as I understand, the database is the source of truth. Without it, there's no way to go from stored chunk(s) to nar, since the chunks are just named {random_uuid}.chunk.

Makes sense thank you.
