Issue Addressed
Currently, if you launch the beacon node with the
--purge-db
flag and thebeacon
directory exists, but one (or both) of thechain_db
orfreezer-db
directories are missing, it will error unnecessarily with:This is an edge case which can occur in cases of manual intervention (a user deleted the directory) or if you had previously run with the
--purge-db
flag and Lighthouse errored before it could initialize the db directories.Proposed Changes
