Hi there ,
During an ipfs get
of a large file I do only see empty ledger output like this:
Ledger for <peer.ID Qm*7pXNWF>
Debt ratio: 0.000000
Exchanges: 0
Bytes sent: 0
Bytes received: 0
Here what I did in parallel:
Watch for any non-empty ledger output
while true
do
for i in $(ipfs bitswap wantlist)
do
ipfs bitswap ledger $i
done | grep -v Qm | egrep -v '^$' | grep -v '\t0$' | grep -v '\t0.000000$'
done
Constantly check the wantlist
is not empty
while true
do
sleep 1
ipfs bitswap wantlist
done
Download a big file
ipfs get -o /tmp/bigfile QmYi6yy3ygc3dNJETqFvvyXdZx28dNyNbZLHkiimhd8Jzd
Saving file(s) to /tmp/bigfile
22.01 MiB / 22.01 MiB [=================================================================================================] 100.00% 2m1s
None of the transferred data did create a non-empty ledger output.
Any ideas? Frankly, I think it’s a bug. Should I open an issue?
Cheers, Stefan
I don’t think this makes any sense. The output from ipfs bitswap wantlist
is a list of content multihashes that your node wants. You’re then taking the list of content multihashes and putting it into ipfs bitswap ledger
which is expecting peer IDs.
I think you should instead be taking the output from ipfs bitswap peers
, parsing out the peer ID, then passing that into ipfs bitswap ledger
.
For example, if I do this on my node I get non-zero output for some peers.
ipfs swarm peers | rev | cut -d/ -f1 | rev | xargs -L1 ipfs bitswap ledger | grep -v "\t0$" | grep "Bytes"
edit: or maybe parsing the list of partners from ipfs bitswap stat
would be better than just the current peers from ipfs swarm peers
? It looks like there are more bitswap partners than current peers, so maybe that would let you look up the ledgers for all peers since node startup.
Thanks for the answer - sometimes I’m sooooo stupid
I was so focused on testing my stuff, that I was not controlling the output of ipfs bitswap wantlist
.
You’re completely right.
ipfs bitswap wantlist
gives back a hash but not one of a peer id as needed for ipfs bitswap ledger
.
