hello,
I’m running a node for the first time ([Install a node - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/run-a-node/setup/install/))
How to know if it’s archival or relay node ?
I think i made the mistake to use fast catchup on my node.
Sorry, but do i have to delete everything and start over?

with rerun
`./update.sh -i -c stable -p ~/node -d ~/node/data -n`
it seems to be ok
🤔

Nodes are non-archival non-relay by default, unless you changed `config.json`.
