Node is in archive mode even if configuration has not been changed.
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I ran the docker container without making the changes needed to run an archive node, since I only need a full node.
After 3/4 hours of syncing, I am only at block 3M and the chaindata directory is already 72GB. I've done a further test by executing the following request:
curl --data '{"method":"eth_getBalance","params":["0x1838Be1Ce335f3658072a1db6AD3A6b04629bF5C", "0x8"],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST localhost:8545
Which queries for the balance of address 0x1838Be1Ce335f3658072a1db6AD3A6b04629bF5Cat block 8, where it receives 0.2 Metis. The requests goes through and it outputs the correct balance, indicating that the node is indeed syncing as archive.
How can I make it only a full node?
it has been fixed, you can use the latest commit.
if you want to switch to the full node completely, you have to delete the geth data first.
