<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""> Hi gents, <br class="">
<br class="">
I rencetly had one of my relay fall into hibernation. It
seems that simply restarting the service doesn't change
the hibernation status since Tor is still thinking that
the BW limits have been overrun. Is the proper method to
reset the status of the node is simply to delete the
"state" file in "<i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>var/lib/tor<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>". For now, I just set
back to 0 the "AccountingBytesReadInInterval" and
"AccountingBytesWrittenInInterval" counters and the node
was able to wake up but that doesn't seem like a very
elegant way to do it.
