1. Update besu config to add --Xbonsai-limit-trie-logs-enabled but don’t restart yet

2. Stop besu

3. (optional) Run:
   sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --data-path=/var/lib/besu --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

4. Start besu (remembering to run sudo systemctl daemon-reload if you use a systemd service file as per CoinCashew and Somer)

5. Look out for Limit trie logs enabled: retention: 512; prune window: 30000 in your besu config printout during startup

6. Enjoy more GBs

So in order to prune the trie logs, your command should be something like:

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --data-path=/var/lib/besu --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

...

If you use a toml config file, then you can simply do something like:

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --config-file=besu-config.toml storage x-trie-log prune

...

The prune command should look something like this for mainnet users…
sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-path=/var/lib/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

...

Are you missing --data-storage-format=BONSAI? It must be add before the storage subcommand, i.e.

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --data-path=/var/lib/besu --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

...

Did you specify the `data-path`?

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-path=/var/lib/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

...

Did you specify the correct data-path for your node?

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-path=/var/lib/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

...

Did you specify the correct data-path for your node?

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --data-path=/var/lib/besu --data-storage-format=BONSAI --sync-mode=X_SNAP storage x-trie-log prune

java.lang.RuntimeException: Column handle not found for segment WORLD_STATE

sudo Are you using data-storage-format=FOREST instead of data-storage-format=BONSAI on an existing bonsai database?

...

Have you specified the sync-mode? Default is sync-mode=FAST. Most mainnet users use X_SNAP or X_CHECKPOINT

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --sync-mode=X_SNAP --data-storage-format=BONSAI --data-path=/var/lib/besu storage x-trie-log prune

...

Are you running this command for a network other than mainnet? You need to specify the network…

sudo /usr/local/bin/besu/bin/besu --network=holesky --sync-mode=X_SNAP --data-storage-format=BONSAI --data-path=/var/lib/besu storage x-trie-log prune
