Hello, i am keeping my sensitive wallet data (i.e. wallet.dat) on a Veracrypt drive, so i launch my full node with -datadir=< veracrypt volume here >
But in that same folder Bitcoin Core keeps the "blocks" subdirectory as well. The problem is that write operations on a Veracrypt volume are extremely slow due to real-time encryption, so the sync is taking ages.
So i may want an additional parameter , say "-blocks-datadir" , to be able to download the blockchain on a non-Veracrypt drive , since the blockchain is not sensitive info, while wallet.dat is.
Are you planning to add such a parameter? Or do you have other solutions to this?
Thanks
p.s. i have tried creating a folder junction ( hard link) with mklink /J ( i am under windows ) , in order to point the "blocks" folder to another drive. But folder junctions only work with NTFS volumes, and my Veracrypt volume is exFAT. A solution would be to create a new Veracrypt volume , this time NTFS.
But if there is already a "blocks-datadir" wallet parameter it would be easier for me. Thanks!
