Geth infinite sync issue (or pending state entries never ~0)
My node is now fully synced in 6 hours. I used parity to sync the node with --geth option. No SSD was needed, working well in RAID: Command: nohup parity --mode active --tracing off --pruning fast --db-compaction ssd --cache-size 3072 --geth & --mode Used: "active" Explanation : Set the operating mode.
