I think Murch was interested whether the HDD was connected using USB, SATA or something else.  You should be able to upgrade bitcoind without needing to redownload the blockchain.

I assume its over SATA. I cannot physically access the server. Its hosted: hetzner.com

Can you give the output of the `getchaintips` command?

@SetasSan Is this your own hardware (hosted at hetzner), or a VPS you rent from them?

@PieterWuille Its dedicated server. I was running my node ~4-5 years. And it started giving me issues now. It could be that my server hardware is  faulty, I dont know. I think I will be not able to run bitcoin node anymore. 
I switched my LND to neutrino.

Yeah it does sound a lot like a hardware failure. Your node rejected the main chain.

# Bitcoind node is stuck

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-05-01)

My node got stuck a week ago it was version 26 I updated to version 27 and re-downloaded whole chain. My node is stuck ant block 840959.
I tried reboot whole server.
I dont want to reindex all again, it will take a whole week again.
How I can solve this problem?

I dont know if this can be related but I also run lnd node.

I tried:
rebuilding bitcoin node

```
make clean
make
make install

```

I tried:

```
bitcoin-cli reconsiderblock 00000000000000000001b3fed517aeb14ff7dc5c912b0421f992df736e1e64eb

```

> **Comments:**
> **username_1**: Does this device use either an SD card or a USB harddrive to store the blockchain?  
> **username_0**: Its using hdd. Im running node on server.  
> **username_2**: I think username_1 was interested whether the HDD was connected using USB, SATA or something else.  You should be able to upgrade bitcoind without needing to redownload the blockchain.  
> **username_0**: I assume its over SATA. I cannot physically access the server. Its hosted: hetzner.com  
> **username_3**: Can you give the output of the `getchaintips` command?  
> **username_4**: @username_0 Is this your own hardware (hosted at hetzner), or a VPS you rent from them?  
> **username_0**: @username_3 I have updated my post, there is data from getchaintips.  
> **username_0**: @username_4 Its dedicated server. I was running my node ~4-5 years. And it started giving me issues now. It could be that my server hardware is  faulty, I dont know. I think I will be not able to run bitcoin node anymore.  I switched my LND to neutrino.  
> **username_3**: Yeah it does sound a lot like a hardware failure. Your node rejected the main chain.
