    This picks up #15954

    I fixed the code and added at a functional test utilizing the scripts in contrib/linearize as suggested by @MarcoFalke .

    The CIs don’t like the new test yet, probably because the relative paths require one to be in the bitcoin root dir for the scripts to be found.

    Also, the help text for loadblock, “Imports blocks from external blk000??.dat file on startup” could be updated to remove the file name.

    And the writing it like this, should make the test shorter in line count. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/7b701fef58f627956d597817a1f9422edd890cdc/test/functional/test_framework/util.py#L306

    What is the point of blocksdir_path (new empty blocks dir), when the whole datadir is cleaned?

    I’d even go further and not remove the whole datadir tree. Since that also deletes the debug log for debugging purposes.

    You could spin up two nodes, and call setnetworkactive(False) on the second one. Then reboot the second one with the -loadblock arg here.

    fjahr commented at 9:09 pm on October 8, 2019:
    I was weighing different options initially and thought using just one node might be more economical. But I did not think about the logs. I am now using a second node.

    True, after implementing the feedback this doesn’t do anything different aside from using AbsPathForConfigVal() which does not seem to be critical here.

    Agree with removing this. blkXXXXX.dat are the block files and the way to (re)index them is -reindex, it has nothing to do with -loadblock.
    MarcoFalke commented at 2:49 pm on November 4, 2019:
    Isn’t the point that you can import the block.dat files from another datadir with -loadblock=blk001.dat -loadblock=blk002.dat -loadblock=...
    laanwj commented at 2:58 pm on November 4, 2019:

    I don’t think that’s the point. In that case it’s less hassle to copy over all the blk files and do a reindex.

    I think the idea behind -loadblock is to import the output from linearize; huge consecutive ‘block archives’ (there used to be torrents for this). But I might be wrong. I’m not sure what it’s used for nowadays.

    MarcoFalke commented at 3:00 pm on November 4, 2019:
    Oh, so it is multi-arg to support a split-up bootstrap.dat?

    Yeah, that was my understanding as well. But I did see it spelled out anywhere explicitly.
    laanwj commented at 4:42 pm on November 5, 2019:

    Oh, so it is multi-arg to support a split-up bootstrap.dat?

    I think so; linearize splits it into 1GB files by default.
