### Bus error (WSL2)

In WSL 2 on Windows, the default virtual disk size is set to 1TB.

You must increase the allocated disk size for your WSL2 instance before syncing reth.

You can follow the instructions here: [how to expand the size of your WSL2 virtual hard disk.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/disk-space#how-to-expand-the-size-of-your-wsl-2-virtual-hard-disk)
