Syncing issue: "error_code" : 73

[digitaltrance7]

Hello,

Running XRPL on Ubuntu Server 22.04

My server was running fine but then started getting error code 73? I restarted xrpl services, updated ubuntu, rebooted, shut down completely and started with no fix.

$ sudo systemctl status rippled.service

Just as a help for anyone else in the future. I deleted the transaction.db found in /var/lib/rippled/db as it was too big for the storage. It was then regenerated.

But the root problem was that I changed the 'online_delete' value from the default of 256 to 128000 a while back and did not calculate the proper storage space requirement. I dialed it back to 512 for now and monitoring, so far it's ok.
