That's odd. I have plenty of these, so the disk is not an issue. I used it on an older Rockchip board (comparable to Pi4 except it has sha256/crypto extension) and it took 4 days back in April. I'll try to source me a Pi4 next week - worth looking into.

Thanks. The github discussion I linked above (copied again for convenience) shows that multiple users are experiencing this. My hypothesis was that the UTXO got too large to hold in RAM and so it is using HD, but I could easily be wrong.

Saw your comment on there previously. I haven't tried raspibolt personally and there is some ongoing work w/ core towards this - I must admit I used 27.x, and there are reports of a regression with 29.x: see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32043 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/32832

Shall I get a 4GB RPi4?

Interesting about the regression. That's up to you! I currently don't have any new insights, and my node is finally fully synced.

Never mind, I didn't read well and you have an 8GB - I'll try to get that.

Edit: will get it next week.
