When bitcoind exits cleanly, it does not seem safe for the blockchain to clean up the following hierarchy with rm -r ?
database/ db.log .lock debug.log addr.dat wallet.dat And what about adding to the above list the following files when bitcoind crashes: __db.* Is there an option to make bitcoind roll/flush the above files on exit so they can be removed/ported? No matter the answers, bitcoind should not be dumping core.
