We are setting up something akin to a blockchain explorer, but our Eth fullnode seems to be missing transaction info for certain blocks.
For instance, I can query eth.getTransaction but eth.getTransactionReceipt returns null
> eth.getTransaction('0x03a05ea076149ae8cff6b0fbc9b1f29c6bf6b7ab04ded92080c54084688456dd')

null
Is there a reason why this would happen, and are there any solutions other than a full resync?
I do believe that the first time that I synced the blockchain I used --fast, so potentially it missed some txs, although this parameter is poorly documented.
It looks like there's an issue with your node. The receipt is returned from Infura. I'd recommend resync without --fast.
