Knots Loop Loading

About an 1 hour ago I see that there was a system restart and as Knots tries to come up I get this error in the Knots log:

[error] basic block filter index: best block of the index not found. Please rebuild the index.
2025-06-25T10:28:22+02:00 Error: basic block filter index: best block of the index not found. Please rebuild the index.
2025-06-25T10:28:22+02:00 2025-06-25T08:28:22Z Shutdown: In progress…

I posted this over on Start9’s forum too. Look here for a Start9 and Knots re-indexing the block chain conversation.

Is everyone’s Knots running currently?

There was a “fix” mentioned by one user. Re-index. Would that mean uninstall…reinstall Knots in order to re-sync?

Reindexing is done via Knots > Actions > Reindex Blockchain. I usually see this error when there is a power outage or the server isn’t shut down properly through the System > Shutdown interface.

Yep…must been what happened. It was fast though as it came right back without me noticing. Um. I hope the re-index don’t take days like it says it will…

Does RPC mean it can see the outside world?

The other way around, actually. The RPC is the interface by which other tools and applications can interact with Knots.

Thanks for the clarification.

@Fletcher I’ll be back…sorry for the Lighting node outage
