Bitcoin-qt and Bitcoind see bitcoin.conf file otherwise

Utilizing Bitcoin core 25.1 on Raspberry Pi. Have .bitcoin dir on exterior drive.

Bitcoin-25.1 bundle after unarchiving got here with bin folder containing Bitcoin-QT and Bitcoind binary information. Bitcoin.conf file lived within the root dir of this folder.

I specified .bitcoin dir on exterior drive for Bitcoin-Qt the primary time it began up and since then it know the place it’s.

Nevertheless every time I begin Bitcoind it makes .bitcoin dir on SD drive regardless of how or the place I put bitcoin.conf file for it to learn from.

I exploit Bitcoin-Qt for taking part in round. Fundamental work is finished by Bitcoind. I anticipate each studying the identical bitcoin.conf file, but it surely’s not occurring. Additionally, Bitcoin-QT retains crashing its QT half as I exploit KVM change to change HDMI.

My quesions are:

  1. The place Bitcoin-Qt is absolutely preserving it is personal conf file remembering the place .bitcoin dir is as I transfer bitcoin.conf round? I can delete bitcoin.conf from the pc and it will nonetheless discover .bitcoin dir on exterior drive appropriately.
  2. How you can make Bitcoind use exterior drive? Attempting to reap the benefits of .bitcoin dir it’s creating each time on SD drive. I copied all contents of wholesome knowledge dir of the exterior drive besides blocks dir and made bitcoin.conf pointing to blocksdir on exterior drive. However with no success.

Any ideas could be appreciated!
