BitcoinUnlimited: main.cpp:4857: void ProcessGetData(CNode*, const Consensus::Params&): Assertion `!"cannot load block from disk"' failed.

I can trigger my node to crash by running a new node and force it to -connect only to my full node. The full node then crashes with this error in the console:

bitcoin-qt: main.cpp:4857: void ProcessGetData(CNode*, const Consensus::Params&): Assertion `!“cannot load block from disk”’ failed.

the debug.log has this: ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Deserialize or I/O error - ReadCompactSize(): size too large at CBlockDiskPos(nFile=27, nPos=64059636)

t could be a hardware error on my end (don’t hope so), but I don’t experience other strange crashes or similar.

As said, it is fairly reproducible, if you need additional info.

PIVX shared the same code as BU and they fix an issue like this one with this PR https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/pull/88

They were able to reproduce the blockchain data corruption repeatedly killing (-9) the main process.

Wonder if we could use such changes to avoid this kind of corruptions also in BU
