09:55:43 <sech1> I have a testnet wallet with a few thousand mined blocks, and I can't sweep_all
09:55:54 <sech1> It just gets stuck after asking for the password
09:56:17 <sech1> monero-wallet-cli uses 15-20% CPU sporadically, and it's been going on for at least an hour
09:59:23 <sech1> if there is any "throttling" code that is supposed to maintain privacy when connecting to a remote node, it should probably off when connecting to a local node
09:59:31 <plowsof> Ive always found ridiculously large sweep_all txs to fail
10:05:32 <moneromooo> You can gdb in and "thread apply all bt".
10:05:42 <moneromooo> (in the wallet)
10:05:57 <moneromooo> perf top might also shed some light.
10:06:36 <moneromooo> If the bt isn't interesting, some cont + ^C should eventually find an interesting trace if the wallet is busy doing stuff.
10:06:54 <moneromooo> AFAIK there is no wallet throttling code.
10:07:21 <moneromooo> If the bt shows the wallet in the RPC call, then bt the daemon.
10:07:45 <sech1> I'll need to build it locally to get proper callstacks
10:07:51 <moneromooo> Running with log level 3 or 4 will also give you a fair idea of where it is.
10:07:59 <sech1> right now it's just sitting there doing nothing, and I can't even kill the process
10:08:22 <sech1> I'll try to get callstacks in the evening, need to go now
10:08:31 <moneromooo> That hints at possible runaway memory usage with the OS swapping all the time ?
10:09:00 <sech1>  1103608 146924  20052 S   0.0  0.2   1:10.35 monero-wallet-c
10:09:03 <sech1> not so much memory
10:09:09 <sech1> that system has 64 GB RAM
10:13:27 <sech1> testnet blockchain is 7.4 GB only, so I don't see how anything could swap there
10:13:45 <sech1> KiB Mem : 65383152 total, 12340728 free, 24026888 used, 29015536 buff/cache
10:14:42 <moneromooo> I just mentioned this since unkillable means stuck for a long time in kernel space. Absent I/O with buggy hardware, it seemed like the next likely reason.
10:16:03 <sech1> hmm, maybe
10:16:23 <sech1> That server is lingering since 2016 and never been updated
13:06:09 <gingeropolous> u wanna share the seed or the wallet bin and see if it can work on diff hardware?
13:06:31 <gingeropolous> or just try dif hardware
13:19:34 <sech1> I'll try it on my notebook. Need to sync testnet first.
13:19:49 <sech1> The wallet has 5614 outputs right now :D
13:49:10 <sech1> Looks like it works better on the notebook. At least I get consistent 100% of on CPU core used
13:49:51 <sech1> and it generated 39 transactions after ~1.5 minutes, all good
