Oh man. I am syncing my node on a spinning drive right now. Can I copy it to a different disk without resyncing later?

Yea you can just stop the node process and then move it to the new disk like any other folder on the filesystem... just be very sure the process is stopped so that its not still trying to write as you move the folder

Perfect. I will probably finish this part and copy it over before setting up lightning then.

Is it just syncing over neutrino or are you doing a whole block sync with Bitcoin core? If you're syncing the whole blockchain I'd just stop that for now and move it, resume on the new disk, syncing core on a spinning disk can take a month of sundays

I am using bitcoin core on an pi 4 running umbrel. I'm not familiar with neutrino. I didn't realize that the spinning disk was why it was taking so long. I thought it was a bandwidth thing. Thats great information. I might work on that today. I'm excited to get it up before the 5th.
