I'm trying to setup personal full node in archive mode (whole history) on server with this parameters:
- Intel i3 3.4GHz
- 8GB DDR3 1333 MHz
- 2TB HDD
- 100 Mbps / 128
I was expecting issues with HDD speed (despite HDD is quite solid) but I got that ETH node needs some random seeks - unfortunately after renting server.
But now node stopped syncing - my parity logged stopped on
2018-01-24 12:38:59 UTC Syncing #2422928 7d9a…cc9e 0 blk/s 0 tx/s 0 Mgas/s 0+ 7089 Qed #2430018 49/50 peers 12 MiB chain 11 MiB db 42 MiB queue
If I'm getting this right node is on block #2430018 - now its ~5M blocks in ETH blockchain.
I run parity with these flags:
parity --fat-db on --db-compaction hdd --base-path /home/eth_chain/ --mode active --pruning archive --tracing on --logging INFO --log-file /var/log/parity/proc.log
Disk is not full

I'd allow parity to use more of my hw - its entirely dedicated to this purpose
Have you any advice? Is running ETH full node in archive mode on HDD complete nonsense? - even in --db-compaction hdd mode? With 8GB RAM?
