Built a new node from scratch on Google Cloud. Downloaded everything successfully, then entered `grin` and the app started up and started syncing. Left to make some tea while the node was syncing, but when I came back it wasn’t working, so I entered `grin` again and got this error message:

`Thread 'main' panicked with message: "called`Result::unwrap()`on an`Err`value: Chain(Error { inner: NotFoundErr("BLOCK HEADER: 02c918ff") Store Error: NotFoundErr("BLOCK HEADER: 02c918ff") })"`

Anyone know why this might happen? Thanks

It’s a bug, if the initial sync is not finished some data is corrupted. while it exists a workaround is to remove the chain data (rm -rf ~/.grin/chain\_data ) and start ovet.
