I attempted to close down Bitcoin Core and it took a really very long time. So I seemed within the log file and located the next messages:

Earlier than this occurred, I used to be making an attempt to get a lightning node to hook up with the bitcoin node and one of many issues I attempted was to create a symbolic hyperlink to the bitcoin knowledge listing as a result of the lightning node couldn’t entry the listing immediately as a result of the title incorporates areas.
Might which have triggered this drawback? If not, what else may need triggered it?
Extra importantly, how lengthy would possibly this take? The node has been “shutting down” now for nearly an hour.
