Possible availability bug in 0.4.4?

[steeveee100]

Hi. Since upgrading to the new Node software I notice it's not updating my availability every day like before. It's been stuck for the last few days! Any ideas?

Same here availability update has stopped since upgrading to 4.4 version

My availability HAS updated since installing 0.4.4, but it definitely seems to be changing less often (installed node update 6 days ago, availability last updated 3 days ago!)

Same mine is stuck on “ your computer is starting the block chain and nothing happens please guide @hi10bha Can you check if the "pi-consensus" container is running OK in Docker? Also take a look at some of the other recent Issues threads, you might find some ideas there!

@hi10bha I used the "Remove blockchain data" button after updating to 0,4.4. It started over at block one, where it paused for about 30 mins, after which it counted up to the current block in almost no time. (Removing the old data and starting over with the API service disabled will save you loads of disk space and possibly even processing resources - previous versions had the API service enabled by default)

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I did that availability went down not up going down is probably because I restarted docker service. At least I know it is working even though it is not right

@hi10bha is it still stuck on "your computer is starting the blockchain"? This is was what i was trying to help you overcome - not the availability part.

[hi10bha]

Yes, it is.

My availability has updated again this morning, but it only seems to do that every 3~4 days, so definitely less frequent now!

[steeveee100]

Thanks @nathusius I'm afraid the availability issue is now low on my priority list. After upgrading to 0.4.4 I took some advice to Remove my Blockchain data, thinking I would end up with a leaner system. Instead it seemed to muck everything up and I ended up with the dreaded continual "starting up the blockchain" message for 2 days, everything under consensus saying N/A!!

I tried reinstalling Docker and WSL 2 yesterday and nothing has changed. So I'm back looking for help! ( Some screenshots to follow soon)

[steeveee100]

And here are my screenshots! All help really appreciated. ###

[steeveee100]

Would love it if one of you guys with a properly working node could post a screenshot of your logfile as above. Just to compare.......

@steeveee100 Here's my screen grabs, looks pretty similar, but I have a lines saying "spawned: postgresql" and the corresponding "success" - no idea why, sorry! The consensus container log shows two restarts: yesterday (Docker 3.3.1) and today after updating to latest Docker 3.3.3. Not sure that I can offer any advice, but let me know if you need any other info

[steeveee100]

Thanks @nathusius. I’ll have a good look later!

Hey guys! I took the plunge and hit the "Remove all blockchain data" button again this morning. And unexpectedly that kicked everything into action! Sat on Block 1 for at least an hour then rocketed up to full capacity. Yippeee!

[gjstein101]

Thanks steevee100 - As last resort I also "remove all blockchain data" and everything started to work.

I also have Pi Node availability issue. My Pi node runs 24/7, but availability seems stopped every 4-5 days, then it started with even lower availability number.

[nathusius]

Yes, it seems to be a general issue, though not really a big problem - just leave it running as you are and hope to get selected as a node soon, that's what I did! Availability figure updates have definitely slowed down and the numbers are suspect anyway - I am running the node 24/7 and last update was actually less than before. All the diagnostics (port checker, etc) are a bit flaky, so just ignore it!!

Thanks !
