My Tezos node is syncing very slowly.. In 24 hours only 40K blocks got synced.
Is it because of DISK IO or RAM or something else??
Attaching logs below.

  • Can you give more details about your setup ? Seems like you are having a pure support issue so perhaps asking on TG or baking slack would be more efficient ?

  • I am not interested in baking. I have a wallet use case so I use this docker image present on docker hub here. hub.docker.com/layers/tezos/tezos/mainnet/images/… I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Digital Ocean instance ( 32 GB Memory / 640 GB Disk + 1.95 TB / SFO2). I am also running other nodes on the same instance in docker.

Your machine should be fine. 2 CPU with 8GB of ram and a SSD is plenty enough for a node.

40k/24h is indeed a bit slow. It usually takes around a week to bootstrap on a regular machine (maybe ~4 days on a dedicated and powerful one). As the bootstrap phase is IOs (disk) intensive, it could be disk congestion as you run multiple nodes on a virtual instance. You should monitoring you disk usage.

Otherwise, you should consider using storage snapshots to set up a node (see http://tezos.gitlab.io/user/snapshots.html)
