RE: Complete Witness Installation Guide

I get past that now after adding 8GB of swap and another 8GB of RAM for the ubuntu setup on VMWare. Thanks a lot! However, I am stuck at about 33% for many hours now when doing --replay-blockchain.

I already restarted my machine once after being stuck there for the first yesterday. How long normally does this procedure completes?

Sort:  

You got the blockchain data downloaded, the config setup, and then it should run it's course. It can take many hours, 12h, depends. Stuck at 33%, I would say retry if you can't get past it.

Looks like I get past 33% after a number of hours. It's now at 34% -- 4600000 of 13492873. The first 30% is faster. Is it normal for the rest of the percentages to be this slower?

What about CPU? Maybe that's the problem?

I am running an Ubuntu on VMWare on my windows 10 workstation which is i7, with 1TB HD and 16GB RAM. I set Ubuntu to have 8GB RAM and setup an 8GB swap file as well.

The farthest distance I've reached on the blockchain replay was at 34% .

Well I have a less powerful i5-2550k, and my tests on my VM can compile with 8gb physical RAM. I don't get why you have issues. I would stay start all over? Try from scratch again, I have no clue :\ sorry

Thanks for the response @krnel. I have started from scratch again. And with minimal config file, I reach 94% on the blockchain replay. That's after about 38 hours. But then power went out on our area and I had to start from scratch again.

Does steemd really to start reindexing blocks from scratch all over again after a power interruption? I am wondering if there's way to run steemd to resume replay from where it stops before the power interruption?

Any help will be appreciated.

The replay starts all over.
