I would like to run a Full Node, but my current computer has limited space on C:, but it does have lots of space on E:

Is there anyway to configure gvite to store the data on a different drive ?

(Also what is the total size/free space necessary for the data folder/ledger/blockchain/etc ? I cannot find any information about the current size of the "vitex" blockchain size...)

One possible solution I can think of is mapping the following folder:
C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Roaming\GVite to a virtual harddisk by mounting the vhd to this folder.

Not sure if this would work but technically it would work.

However it would help if I had a clue how much space this program takes ! So I can create a virtual harddisk of a fixed size...
I normally don't use dynamic virtual harddisks...

On windows, add dataDir line to node_config.json:

"RewardAddr": "vite_xxx",
"dataDir" : "E:\Data\ViteX\"

(Add a comma , behind reward address line)

Use double forward slashes to make the folder work, otherwise escape code error ! ;)

Estimated blockchain/data size on 22 march 2023 is 215 GB.
