I have repeated this process a few times, always with the same error.
In one terminal,
./bitcoind -testnet
in another
./bitcoind -testnet getnewaddress
mgj4Y8AvckxborhQzqFAhppcGVGFExqJvB
./bitcoind -testnet dumpwallet /path/to/testnet3/wallet.dat
error: {"code":-1,"message":"CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error 22"}
./bitcoind -testnet stop
Bitcoin server stopping
In the original terminal,
libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception Abort trap: 6
Then I type
./bitcoind -testnet
Error: wallet.dat corrupt, salvage failed
Anybody have an idea what is going on? I updated my bitcoin to the latest on github. I also searched for the error 22 but didn't find anything. I'm guessing CDB means corrupted database. I also looked in debug.log, but I didn't see anything weird.
I know it is the dumpwallet command that is breaking it, because when I omit it from this process, nothing breaks.
The same things happens on the mainnet, altho I have not tested it as much.
Am I using the dumpwallet command incorrectly?
