If your running into issues restarting/starting zcashd after stopping it, it could be that your installation has been corrupted. This is not a major issue thankfully.
First, just in case, backup your wallet as instructed at the following location.
ZCASH WALLET BACKUP - Official
make a backup of your .zcash folder
sudo cp .zcash .zcash.todaysdate
You shouldn’t need the above, but better safe than sorry.
Next go into the .zcash folder and type:
/bin/rm blocks/ chainstate/ db.log debug.log fee_estimates.dat -Rf
Once complete, restart zcashd, it will re-download the blocks and you’ll be good to go.
NOTE: Till all the blocks are downloaded the commands
zcash-cli z_gettotalbalance
0 ZEC, don’t panic. Once it’s done downloading, it will show the proper amounts.
Hopefully this saves some people some time.
