Speed of graceful exit

[beli]

Would say same as before - but - cpu load is gone.

[polo]

Hello guys, I decided to leave the project. So I activated graceful exit:

docker exec -it storagenode /app/storagenode exit-satellite --config-dir /app/config --identity-dir /app/identity

When I tried to get some info about progress with:

docker exec -it storagenode /app/storagenode exit-status --config-dir /app/config --identity-dir /app/identity

I got:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ docker exec -it storagenode /app/storagenode exit-status --config-dir /app/config --identity-dir /app/identity

I left round 10h ago. There are still zeroes… I have cca 200GB data, so how long will I have to wait?

@polo

I decided to leave the project

May I ask why are you leaving ?

[polo]

Yes. I decided to left the project, because:

1. I move to another location (slow internet).
2. I was in project 30 days, and I sent(egress) 400GB data(uptime 100%) - so it means cca 10 USD salary. I have 100Mb/s connection (upload and download) and I noticed, that it was used hardly from 10%! I am not motivated to stay in project. I believed the calc estimator on storj web site, but reality is completely different.

P.S. If the “conditions” (I mean profit) are better in future, so I am willing to join the project again. I have Raspberry Pi 4 with 5TB disk at home of my parents, who have 500Mb/s connection!

But what is it good for? You can have 500Mbps connection, but if the network is utilized just for 10% it doesnt make sense…
Just my opinion…

Have you been running it for at least 6 months if not graceful exit wont work.

[Yingrong]

Hey polo, would you mind to share which version your are running with for your storage node?

[heunland]

1. you could follow the instructions for migrating your node to a new location here, this is not really a reason to shut down your node completely.
2. during the first 30 days, your node is still being vetted, so it is normal that it only received 5% of the normal traffic. Full traffic will not start to be sent to you node until it has passed 100 audits on each satellite it is connected to. If you would run your node a little longer, you would most likely see a notable increase in uploads and downloads being offered to your node for storing pieces.

I suggest you read up on some of our earlier blog posts which describe in detail how the network works and how a node earns reputation. As already mentioned by another community member, you cannot apply for graceful exit until your node has been active for at least 6 months. If you still feel like you are not getting the expected utilization out of the network, you can then recover your held back amount by graceful exit.

[polo]

No, I joined project 2.1.2020. So, in this case is not necessary to wait for copying data to other nodes?

[deathlessdd]

Graceful exit only works for nodes that have been running for 6 months. If you havent ran your node for 6 months you will get a error saying a date when you will be able to run graceful exit.

[polo]

I have version 0.28.4.

[cameron]

@polo
This is a bug that displays the graceful exit progress output even though you are not eligible. @deathlessdd is correct. If you update to the latest version it should be fixed

[littleskunk]

I have initiated graceful exit myself but only one one single satellite. My speed is just fine. With the default settings I have a constant transfer of 20MBit/s. With max settings I am getting 100MBit/s average and spikes up to 800MBit/s. The error rate is low.

graceful-exit.chore-interval has no effect at all. As soon as the queue is empty the storage node will request a new batch.

The only issue i see is that my storage node is waiting for the slowest transfer to finish before taking the next batch of orders. I will not complain about that because at the end of the day the transfer speed is acceptable for me. I will create a jira ticket but right now I have to give it low priority.

How do you trigger a graceful exit? Why is there no documentation about this topic?

[littleskunk]

@twl

Why is there no documentation about this topic?

Now you triggered me to not answer both questions. On the top right you will find a search function. Try “Graceful Exit Guide”. You are welcome.

[twl]

This belongs HERE:
https://support.storj.io/hc/en-us/search?utf8=✓&query=graceful+exit

or maybe HERE:
https://documentation.storj.io/resources/faq

Where it however does not belong:
in a thread that is not linked anywhere, so you have to search the forums.

Also, unfortunately I’m not running Kali Windows.

[littleskunk]

Once again you are welcome. I am always happy to help and write down guides here in the forum. Unfortunately I am not qualified to write good FAQs as you can simply see by the number of questions in that thread. Feel free to take that task and write down a FAQ that works for you.

[beli]

It seem that the new version (much lower cpu-load) work as expected.
I finished two satelites already.

What to do with the receipt?

[nerdatwork]

@beli

What to do with the receipt?

Keep it in a safe place in case its needed for support queries especially regarding payment of held amount.

[nitishxp]

After changing graceful-exit.num-concurrent-transfers should i need to restart my node? I have started the GE but seeing any significant speed of transfer

[Alexey]

Yes, you must restart after each change in the config.
Also, increasing number of concurrent transfers could end with disqualification if your hardware (router to be precise and your network card) are not capable for high number of simultaneous connections.
You can take a look on these threads:

Graceful Exit (log inspection)

I creating this topic to pay attention to the Graceful Exit (GE) implementation and node selection on the satellite side during GE. So, Let’s start to review GE process like an engineer. Introduction: I started GE on one of my storagenode for satellite.stefan-benten.de (118UWpMCHzs6CvSgWd9BfFVjw5K9pZbJjkfZJexMtSkmKxvvAW) to test how GE is going. All my databases located on separate SSD drives and I have ZFS storage. When I started GE process I saw on the table with satellite names how much s…

Disqualification operators receive when exiting

The main problem here is that the disqualification operators receive when exiting. If this had not happened, then there would have been “no problem”. In the meantime, it looks like a deliberate act. After all, so far there has not been more than one operator whose exit failed through his fault, and not the receiving node.

Just started Graceful exit on a satellite , it went to 34% and failed

Just starte Graceful exit on a satellite , it went to 34% and failed (got the Completion Receipt ). I would like to find out why it failed. any ideas on what to look for in the logs? Thank you !

Disqualified on Stefan satellite during Graceful Exit

Good day. Yesterday I launched an exit. Got a ban today. Help please, I have 100% audits !!! Here is the satellite output information: c:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node>storagenode exit-satellite 2020-07-16T16:07:58.847+0300 INFO Identity loaded. {“Node ID”: “12KJbX2TziK3SaCVPTz39iDY6YxpsqPbFqbuW9VNDiR72U9Gi3b”} By starting a graceful exit from a satellite, you will no longer receive new uploads from that satellite. This action can not be undone. Are you sure you want to …
