My bad, I sent my e-mail to the wrong receiver... Also, a correction: I'm running sks version 1.1.3. Please see below. /A 2012/9/9 Andreas Thulin andreas.thu...@gmail.com Hi! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) on an Asrock Ion 3D ( http://www.asrock.com/nettop/overview.asp?Model=ION%203D%20Series#Specifications), 2Gb RAM. SKS version 1.1 Berkeley version: ? - How do I find out? I'm running a fastbuild (n=1), which seemed to work for a qouple of minutes, but then it looked like it stopped. Running # strace -p processID first gave a lot of reads, but then has produced nothing but futex(0x7f0c1db15358, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL the last 10 hours. The funny thing is that something writes to the /sks/DB directory every now and then. It seems to happen each time I run strace, but also at other times. I'm thinking maybe the n=1 thing makes this fastbuild very slow, and the process hence should take several hours still. What amount of time should I expect this to take? Running this DB build with some sort of human readable periodic progress indication is of course preferrable.

I'm thinking maybe the n=1 thing makes this fastbuild very slow, and the process hence should take several hours still. For a variety of reasons mostly personal, I have never used fastbuild only build. n for fastbuild is the multiple of 15000 keys to load on a single pass, For build, n is the number of key files to read in per pass. Depending on which keydump you are using, the two may effectively be the same as 15000 is the default number of keys to dump per file. I use n=14 (21 keys) on my gingerbear machine which is the same hardware as the Windows XP box mentioned below, it runs Slackware-current. In /etc/sks, you should have a file named sksconf. Add the following two lines pagesize: 128 ptree_pagesize: 8 The default value for pagesize is 4 (2048 bytes) and for PTree it's 1 (512 bytes). Experience has shown these to be too low. The defaults are adjusted in the trunk version. Make that change, stop the (fast)build. Delete any directories in /var/sks/lib and try again. I'd use something like: sks build -n 12 -cache 100 /var/sks/dump/*.pgp or similar or use the build script that ships with Debian. What amount of time should I expect this to take? I last built a SKS database on a Windows XP box (Athlon XP 2800+, 2.13GHz; 2GB RAM, PATA/133 drives) back on 25 July. Times were build: 4:18:39.734 clean: 0:03:31.031 pbuild: 1:12:11.641 That was a build with n=5. n is adjusted on each machine to a value that does not cause swapping to occur. build depends more on the speed of your disks than anything else. Running this DB build with some sort of human readable periodic progress indication is of course preferrable. When I run build, I get the output like: Build Wed, Jul 25, 2012 1:15:51 AM Loading keys...done DB time: 2.95 min. Total time: 4.74 min. Loading keys...done DB time: 4.88 min. Total time: 6.74 min. Loading keys...done DB time: 3.69 min. Total time: 5.28 min. Loading keys...done DB time: 3.78 min. Total time: 5.29 min. Loading keys...done etc... The first two lines are from my build script. clean and pbuild both have their own log files that you can follow with 'tail -f'. clean.log tells you what actions it is performing. pbuild.log spits out a timestamp every 5000 hashes it processes. Thanks all for helpful pointers! :-) No problem. You're welcome. Best regards, Andreas Good luck. -John -- John P.

Also, indicate what behavior or output you expected, and perhaps highlight the discrepancies between expected and observed results. a good problem report will not only help you get help from more-experienced people on the list, but it will probably also help other people (lurkers or archive-readers) who may be running into the same problem you are and also want to get advice.

This causes problems for your peers, because the reconciliation protocol is not efficient given so great a discrepancy. It might be worth glancing at https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/wiki/Peering and going over your setup to be sure things are working. Looking at the /pks/lookup?op=stats page on your own server can be useful. I *seriously* recommend that you take a look at that page and get a keydump loaded.
