Explanation and solution for the error message
The error message provided is likely due to a conflict between Bitcoin-Qt (Bitcoin Core) and another program or service running on the same system. When two processes try to access the same file system resources simultaneously, conflicts can arise.
In your case, it seems that bitcoin-qt
or one of its components, such as the SQL database, is trying to access a shared directory (c:\data\bitcoin-qt -wallet=c:\dir\wal -datadir=c:\btcdata\
) or another shared directory (c:\data\bitcoin-qt -wallet=c:\dir\wal2\ -datadir=c:\btcdata2\
).
Solution:
To resolve this issue, you need to make sure that bitcoin-qt
and the SQL database are running in different directories. Here is a step-by-step solution:
- Create separate directories for each Bitcoin Core wallet:
`blow
mkdir c:\dir\wal
mkdir c:\dir\wal2
c:\dir\wal
This will create two new directories:
and
c:\dir\wal2. You can use them as the
-walletoptions when starting
bitcoin-qt.
Run each Bitcoin Core wallet in its own directory:blow
bitcoin-qt -wallet=c:\dir\wal -datadir=c:\btcdata\
bitcoin-qt -wallet=c:\dir\wal2\ -datadir=c:\btcdata2\
This will ensure that the SQL database uses a different shared directory for each wallet.
- Verify that both wallets are working properly

tasklist
If you still encounter issues, try to identify which process is causing the conflict and kill or temporarily disable it. You can use
or
process explorerto identify the conflicting process.
-logdirAlternatively, you can also try creating a separate log file for each Bitcoin Core wallet by adding the
option:
hit
bitcoin-qt -wallet=c:\dir\wal -datadir=c:\btcdata/ -logdir=C:\logs\bitcoin-qt-logs
This will create separate logs for each wallet in the C:\logs\bitcoin-qt-logs` directory.
If you follow these steps, you should be able to resolve the conflict and start your Bitcoin Core wallets without any issues related to accessing the shared directory.
