Setting datadir and blocksdir in the console should be reflected in the GUI correct? Right now my GUI should say ~/bitcoin for the datadir and ~/bitcoin/blocks for the blocks folder but even after restart the GUI says ~/bitcoin/blocks for the datadir and ~/bitcoin/blocks/blocks for the blocksdirIt says "processing blocks on disk" so i'm assuming its checking the chain but I wanna make sure its really checking the copy I have and not Downloading a new copy. Did I miss something?

@Enki try tail -f ~/bitcoin/debug.logto see what bitcoind is doing. If it is downloading the blocks again, you should see that reflected in the logs

@htimsxela Oh yeah its reading the wrong directory and re-syncing the chain.

@htimsxelaI think my copy of the chain might be corrupted. I got things to load and this version of the chain is only 33 weeks behind but right after loading it got a fatal error "ReadBlockFromDisk: Deserialize or I/O error - CAutoFile::read: fread failed:......"
