Trying to setup a storage node on a raspberry pi - node disqualified

Hi,

After setting up a raspberry pi 3 with a 2TB USB drive following the instructions on “Install storagenode on Raspberry Pi3 or higher – Storj”, I have got an error:
2021-04-16T13:24:17.903Z INFO failed to sufficiently increase receive buffer size (was: 176 kiB, wanted: 2048 kiB, got: 352 kiB)
Which I remedy adding net.core.rmem_max=2500000 to sysctl.conf.
But now after restarting the node I see no more errors on the log but unfortunately I still see the node disqualified error on the web interface.
Should I wait to see if it resolves itself with time?
Node is online, version is v1.25.2

current logs are:

Best regards

Search your log for failed and GET_AUDIT in the same line.

Hi @nerdatwork, thank you for your help, I don’t see any of these messages on the log right now but on the web interface I see that my node was disqualified several days ago when I first tried setting the node at home but at the time I was unable to forward ports, now I am on a new internet connection with the ports forwarded and the node is online but the error persists, maybe the satellites have outdated information about my node, I will wait for a refresh

I’m pretty sure you can’t come back from being disqualified.
If the node is new I suspect you may as well spool up a completely new one.

Hi @ACarneiro, I see, so the status disqualified is a dead end, will try to spin up a new one and post the results here, thank you.

Disqualification is permanent. You do have to check, why your node failed audits so you can avoid them in future. If you haven’t redirected log then you should do it now. Logs are destroyed whenever you restart your node if you are using docker.

Disqualified is by satellite are you disqualified on all?
Storagenode logs are noisy, spurious and the error text usually has nothing to do with the problem.
For instance, it won’t say you have been disqualified in the logs, will it?

Hi @andrew2.hart, the node is disqualified by all.
@nerdatwork, yes I am using docker but have lost all previous logs, will keep an eye on the new node I am spinning up now.

That’s unfortunate but it really doesn’t matter. The new node you start gets a clean slate as long as you use a new identity. Good luck!

Ok, up and running! I already see it downloading data. I really don’t know what happened but again, I was trying to setup the node without port forwarding and let it powered down for a few days, probably that was it. Now with everything in place things went on smoothly. Thank you all for your help!
As a curiosity, I removed the 2TB USB drive and connected to an ISCSI LUN with 15TB on the raspberry 3.

Hmmm… Whilst I’m pretty sure that NFS or SMB shares are a no-no to run nodes on, I’m not 100% sure that ISCSI is a straightforward thing either.
I think it might be safer to run on a USB connection (although this is far from being my area of expertise, so if any of the clever guys could chime in…)

Alexy stated ISCSI is supported, but slower than direct attached storage. Since a USB drive is still not “direct” attachment, it may be a toss up as to which is better.

Thanks! It’s my first node, glad to know that it’s supported by the network :grinning:
