Hi,
I'm running Multichain as master in a docker container with a volume mapped to a permanent storage so if the container dies, it can be restarted using the same data dir.
However this is not working as expected, as on restart, I get the following error:
/data/chain1 folder already exists...

Apparently, on restart, it's detecting that there is already an existing data dir, so it's just trying to spin up the master node again using it with:
multichaind -txindex -printtoconsole -shrinkdebugfilesize -datadir=/data chain1
But maybe I need to start it in a different way when the data dir is already there.
Can you please advice?
Thanks!
