The blockchain was synced before but when I restarted It is now 3 days behind. I don't know what is wrong with the BSC network. My entire system is suffering because of this. Kindly anyone help me to resolve this.

I've done everything as you can see the configurations. It seems I am installing a project of NASA.

Here is the out for eth.syncing

Hello, what about your config.toml and start geth command arguments?

if target make full sync then GP3 more than needed, basic GP2 enough for me and costs 2x less.

Could you share your config.toml file and the command pls? I'm having the same issue. Synced few days ago but now always 100ish blocks behind

did you try snap syncmode when starting geth with "--syncmode snap"?

urkishan · 2021-10-07T10:11:46Z

No I haven't tried with --syncmode snap does this help @risingsun007?

benharbit · 2021-10-07T10:13:27Z

No I haven't tried with --syncmode snap does this help @risingsun007?

Using snap syncmode was the only way I was able to successfully sync my node.

What syncmode did you use to sync?

@urkishan
Sorry for the delay, I don't get notice(

config.toml part:

DataDir = "node"
InsecureUnlockAllowed = false
NoUSB = true
IPCPath = "geth.ipc"
HTTPHost = "127.0.0.1"
HTTPPort = 8575
HTTPVirtualHosts = ["localhost"]
HTTPModules = ["eth", "net", "web3", "txpool"]
WSPort = 8546
WSModules = ["net", "web3", "eth", "txpool"]

[Node.P2P]
MaxPeers = 90 # seems important, 90 there ll be admin.peers=30

For 32gb RAM i'm using
./geth --config ./config.toml --datadir ./node --cache 25000 --ws

1d ago this setup gave me average 2-3 block sync in a second

urkishan · 2021-10-07T12:26:39Z

So @0fuz should I increase my MaxPeers to 90 and change the cache to 25K?

0fuz · 2021-10-07T12:31:14Z

yes, hope it can help, geth depends of RAM a lot

urkishan · 2021-10-07T12:44:12Z

This is the current ram uses. I've increased the cache and MaxPeers

urkishan · 2021-10-07T12:46:44Z

I don't understand why they are not solving this issue, As this is not my first issue in here I've raised related to the syncing problem. They should really provide a full documentation how to sync or let us know that they are having some problem.

Here is my other issue I've raised for them but I didn't get any help from this team #258

urkishan · 2021-10-07T12:52:46Z

And here we have something else I don't know if it is a normal behaviour or something else:

when your currentBlock so far from highestBlock, highestBlock might not be real latest network known.

I had 100 blocks behind too, and solved it by making full sync from bsc-snapshots

Looks like you're syncing 1 block a second? You may still catch up but it will take ages...
I don't think your disk is a NVMe disk. SSD just can't cope anymore

My node is still 3 days behind. I don't know what is going on. Can somebody let me know what should I do?

urkishan · 2021-10-11T06:28:02Z

@DryDragon10 your node is synced?

DryDragon10 · 2021-10-11T12:30:52Z

Yes mine has been synced fine for a week

Guys, this is still unclear. What should I do to sync a full-node? I've been trying for a week now...
Tell me what kind of instance is needed on AWS. Does it work only with snapshot syncmode?

I saw similar change of 'currentBlock' after I made aws.volume.snapshot and unzipped it, I solved it by downloading latest snapshot(

This is just way too slow. It seems that your vps doesn't meet the requirements of a full node

Hi DryDragon10, did you have your node successfully synced from scratch or a snapshot copy from https://github.com/binance-chain/bsc-snapshots?

urkishan · 2021-10-29T15:16:38Z

I've started 3 node for syncing from more than 1 week but it still nothing. I think it's time to move to other blockchain because they aren't supporting and telling us anything that what is going on.

0fuz · 2021-11-01T09:15:28Z

@urkishan please check this gist https://gist.github.com/0fuz/43960fd99507c587b45c77daba91e90c

de-ltd · 2021-11-15T09:51:09Z

tl:dr; but if you are experiencing huge block loss after restarting geth, you should maybe start it as a daemon and configure the timeout to around 5 minutes - this way it has time to persist the data from memory to disk.

icex · 2021-11-25T09:24:46Z

I could barely sync my server in about 12h after 2 weeks of trying different stuff. I previously had a regular SATA SSD(Intel DC enterprise part), then upgraded to a Samsung NVME but using a ZFS format == fail. Then I formatted it to XFS(a lot of people suggested this for geth/leveldb performance) and like magic it worked in under 12h. The point is IO performance is critical

Now the only issue is that sometimes it laggs 1-2 blocks, but I guess the network is really congested(a lot of official nodes are out of sync by upto 40 blocks sometimes), see https://bscscan.com/chart/tx

I wrote a quick script to check some public nodes(it just queries current block):

[latency test] 357ms for https://bsc-dataseed1.ninicoin.io/ is 6 blocks behind!!!
[latency test] 391.5ms for https://bsc-dataseed4.defibit.io/ is 6 blocks behind!!!

@icex Not in my case. Ubuntu 20.04 , 8-core Ryzen, 32GB RAM, NVME 180k IOPS. Ubuntu is installed on ext4 partition, bsc data on partition with xfs file system.

Syncing 3 days , still 30k blocks behind latest.

Can you please share your config.toml file and start command?
