System information

Is it because of the recent hard fork?
Any help appreciated.

i have same problem

[ligi]

Yes - this date correlates with the Hardfork and if you run geth 1.9.6 you will need to update

@karalabe @ligi Can you help on this.
Also, Where can I get list of peer to add to my geth node.?

[Heliosmaster]

We were having the same issue. We removed the peers from the config in order to let geth get the peers automatically and that seemed to help.

admin.peers
[]
net.peerCount
0

Is there any other option to remove peers from? It is halted since two days.

Would be good to get a stack trace from a hanging node. To get the trace, run geth attach --exec 'debug.stacks()' > stacktrace.txt.

[karalabe]

Please also paste the command you use to run Geth.

stacktrace.txt
please look into this file
@karalabe @fjl

Command to run geth : /path/to/geth/geth1.9.8/geth-linux-amd64-1.9.8-d62e9b28/geth --datadir=/home/dcx/EthereumMainnet/ --cache 4096 --rpc --rpcapi eth,web3,net,ssh,db,debug,personal,admin --rpcaddr 10.128.0.3 --rpcport 8545 --port 35556
