I have tried counts of: 1,2,4,8,12,20 and 40 and left the setup running for at least hours - frequently 10+ hours and what I get is fairly consistent according to node-launchpad:
Node #1 is always stuck at “ADDED”
Other nodes always go to “RUNNING” but some change to “STOPPED” after some hours.
ALL the counters except for “Peers” never change from zero.
So, I guess I am still missing something? I can download files but the nodes never do any work . .
Are you sure about that --data-dir-path
and --log-dir-path
being /safe ?
That implies there is a directory at / that is owned by the user running the command but that would be unusual for either a non privileged user or a mount point as you aren’t starting the nodes using sudo so they won’t be services.
Oh ok, fair enough. Sounds like you know what you are doing!
I wonder about that use of the --owner flag as @tobbetj pointed out. It’s not needed. You wouldn’t think having it there would cause a problem but maybe try removing it.
