block_log::open faults if log has no head

• Replay and truncate mainnet block log. Other block logs might also work.
  • rm -rf data config
  • mkdir -p data/blocks
  • cp ...../blocks.log data/blocks
  • ~/eos/build/programs/nodeos/nodeos -d ./data --config-dir ./config --plugin eosio::http_plugin --plugin eosio::producer_api_plugin --hard-replay-blockchain --truncate-at-block 1000
• Generate snapshot:
  • curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1/producer/create_snapshot | json_pp
• Stop nodeos
• Replay from snapshot without block log. Change id below:
  • rm -rf config data/blocks* data/state
  • ~/eos/build/programs/nodeos/nodeos -d ./data --config-dir ./config --snapshot data/snapshots/snapshot-000003e8ddc03486114e6a1c764f0f78dab559ed18519802b4399a8d89e48264.bin
• Stop nodeos
• Restart nodeos
  • ~/eos/build/programs/nodeos/nodeos -d ./data --config-dir ./config

Same issue here. An idea when it will be possible to do a complete offline restore from a snapshot WITHOUT the need to get 1+ block from the network?
