Log Entries created on remote/other Peers are not Pinned Locally about orbitdb HOT 5 OPEN

Is the peer using an in-memory blockstore for Helia? What happens if you configure the node with a persistent blockstore?

E.g.

import { LevelBlockstore } from 'blockstore-level' 

const blockstore = new LevelBlockstore('./some/path')
const libp2p = await createLibp2p()
const helia = await createHelia({ libp2p, blockstore })

My understanding is that the replicated block should also be pinned on the remote peer (isPinned should == "true" on the remote peer also).

from orbitdb.

Just to add that a persistent datastore may also be needed as I believe pins are stored to datastore not blockstore.

import { LevelBlockstore } from 'blockstore-level' 
import { LevelDatastore } from 'datastore-level' 

const blockstore = new LevelBlockstore('./some/path/helia/blocks')
const datastore = new LevelDatastore('./some/path/helia/data')
const libp2p = await createLibp2p()
const helia = await createHelia({ libp2p, blockstore, datastore })

(sorry haven't been able to actually confirm this, just going on a hunch re: datastore and pins).

I am not really sure what you are referring to here. The only way to pin anything in Helia is either locally, or via the 'Pinning API'. There isn't any way to compel another node to Pin your data.

Does IPFSBlockStorage fail immediately (I.e. as soon as the remote node is offline) or does it happen over time (I.e. the remote node has been offline for some time)? What would be the steps for me to reproduce this issue?
