Node overloaded - traffic flooding

Node Operators troubleshooting

How about you stop all the proxies first? Lets run the test again with a single IP and see how that works!

You can no longer rely on that metric for ingress, since there was a change to how bandwidth is reported by the API on v1.104

Any chance we could have a config option to disable all file walkers from automatically running and command line options to run them ourselves ‘manually’? That way more advanced SNOs could write their own scripts in order to optimize performance based on their particular hardware. We could implement a staggered approach to running them so they don’t all run at once, or delay them to run during times of less network demand, etc.

Additionally, is / would it be possible to reload the config file without completely restarting the node?

You can disable only used-space-filewalker, which is triggered on startup. All others doesn’t have a disable option.

Can’t find the exact model numbers, but EFAX sounds like an SMR drive.

Does the drive report TRIM support?
Yes > 100% SMR
No > CMR

So Efax disk is CMR and Efbx is SMR, and anyway they are bastards with this smr/cmr game

Not really.
Decoding that part number:

WD80EFAX
 >8,0
   >TB, desktop 3.5"
     >Red
      >5400rpm, 256MB cache
       >6GBps SATA

Can’t say if it’s SMR or CMR from the model number unless it matches with current WD documentation (they pulled some off the site when the SMR/CMR debacle happened). Only the drive itself can tells us that, so see comment above about trim support.

And how do I see if they support trim? It’s not just for SSDs…

If you’re on linux you can try

smarctl -i /dev/sd*

(obviously replacing /dev/sd* with whatever the drive you’re trying to check is living on :slight_smile: )

If TRIM is enabled it should come up with a line saying something like

TRIM Command:     Available, deterministic, zeroed
