Hi @shuishihang!

Would you be able to share the full litd log from when this issue occurred? If you also have a more detailed stack trace, that'd be much appreciated.
Additionally, If you can share your lit.conf file with any sensitive info censored, that would also be appreciated.

Thank you @shuishihang. We will investigate the issue on our end and keep you posted!

[ziggie1984]

Did it happen after a version update ? Seems like your graphdb is corrupted. You could try dropping the graph via chantools https://github.com/lightninglabs/chantools/tree/master/cmd/chantools

Hey @shuishihang, are you still facing this issue due to the errors when dropping the graph above, or did you manage to resolve it?

[shuishihang]

The issue still persists and has not been resolved.

[ViktorT-11]

Ok, after discussing your issue internally with @ziggie1984, we've unfortunately concluded that your database is corrupt to the level that the node is unusable, and will need to be disaster recovered in case you had channels with funds on your side of the channels.

Therefore your only option will now unfortunately be to try to force close any channels on the node to rescue your funds in the channels. Please read the contents of this docs carefully before proceeding to try to rescue any stuck funds:
https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lnd/disaster-recovery

On another note, to try to avoid that you face this issue again on any potential future nodes, we recommend you use sqlite as the database backend (i.e. the db.backend=sqlite config option). Sqlite database backends are way less prone to corruption than bbolt database backends.

[ViktorT-11]

Converting this to a discussion as this has been deemed to be a case of database corruption.
