rebooted my system and restarted the node. Now I'm getting the following error. Is this simply the node telling me that it's not able to run the new fork because I started it with the old (i.e. current) mainnet? not sure if I am able to bake or endorse (not an operation due for several hours) but I'd rather not find out the hard way. Any help understanding these errors would be appreciated.

  • I eliminated the error by rebooting system and updating the Tezos data with the usual commands.. Still don't know why I got the error in the first place

I'm not sure what the cause is but here's how I got out of it without re-downloading the whole chain. You need to be running a version of tezos-node that supports snapshots such as the mainnet-snapshots branch.

Shutdown the tezos-node and any processes that depend on it like the baker, endorser and accuser if they're running.

The instructions assume that your tezos-node binary is in your path. If not, specify the correct path.

Export a snapshot:

tezos-node snapshot export tezos-snapshot

Backup the current .tezos-node directory.

mv -i ~/.tezos-node ~/.tezos-node-backup

Create a new .tezos-node directory and restore the identity

mkdir ~/.tezos-node
cp ~/.tezos-node-backup/identity.json ~/.tezos-node

Restore the snapshot

tezos-node snapshot import tezos-snapshot

Restore your other config files if you have some.

cp -i ~/.tezos-node-backup/config.json ~/.tezos-node-backup/peers.json  ~/.tezos-node

You can restart tezos-node now.

tezos-node run

And verify that the block height is increasing. (You'll need jq for this step)

tezos-client rpc get /chains/main/blocks/head/ | jq '.header.level, .header.timestamp';date
