I'm new to Geth...
I'm performing a fast sync using the following command:
geth --syncmode "fast" --cache 4096
I had been downloading block data until about 1000 blocks from the highestBlock. Then the ability to download blocks slowed significantly/stopped and am now receiving the following:
INFO [05-01|21:31:20] Imported new state entries count=1467 elapsed=7.016ms processed=131239 pending=23492 retry=2 duplicate=0 unexpected=63
I notice that the currentBlock:
and highestBlock:
do not update after some time, but the knownStates
and pulledStates
do.
> eth.syncing
{
currentBlock: 5540855,
highestBlock: 5540944,
knownStates: 1,
pulledStates: 0,
startingBlock: 5540855
}
> eth.syncing
{
currentBlock: 5540855,
highestBlock: 5540944,
knownStates: 14130,
pulledStates: 6264,
startingBlock: 5540855
}
Is this normal behavior for fast syncing? Do more blocks get downloaded and the highestBlock get updated again or do I have to stop and restart the geth console?
