Why does the Tor OP get into a state where it won't bootstrap? #21

Open yaronyg opened 10 years ago

yaronyg commented 10 years ago

Scenario:

  1. A Tor OP starts without problem
  2. We stop the Tor OP
  3. We restart the Tor OP and try to bootstrap

Expected Result: Tor OP bootstraps

Actual Result: Tor OP refuses to complete bootstrapping, it just freezes

Current Work Around: If we delete all the binaries and cache files (but the hidden service) then in 100% of the cases so far the Tor OP will start just fine.

Action Item: We need to understand what's causing these failures and see if we can fix them rather than using the 'nuke it from orbit' solution of deleting all the files.
