Height of block is pointing 603092 for several hours.
So I passes -vv options to “settings-tp” and “sawtooth-validator” for checking logs.
Now I can see tons of logs of “Request missing predecessor”, “Block ## has already been requested”, “Drop already validated block”, “Received repeat GossipBlockRequest from ##”, “Dispatch incoming queue size: #” and so on.
And status of peers are looks fine.

Is it working right?
Or, is there any point I have to check?
I’m working on Ubuntu 20.04 and snapshot on official document.
I ran the mining server last night, however it’s still same block height(603092). So I turned off this morning.
From some previous threads, most of miner server look like catch up block height in few hours.
How long does it take to catch up block height usually?
If I use other people’s snapshot, can I speed up this process?
There is no average estimated time to catch up the latest block height, because it is impossible to anticipate when you will get the right peers.
I’m not an expert on hyperledger sawtooth, so I can’t explain the detail how it start to sync or give an way to speed up synchronization, but just waiting 2~3 days with connected 2~4 peers worked in my personal experience.
You can import my snapshot file, but some reported that it didn’t work, while others said it worked. If you did backup, I recommend you to give a shot.
