As a follow-up on this issue: I can't easily hook up my Raspberry Pi with a network cable, but I've had this command running for the past few days:
    $ while :; do ping -c 3 www.google.com &> /dev/null; if [ $? != 0 ]; then date; fi; done

There's been occasional output that doesn't correspond to the tor-arm's "Relay unresponsive" complaints. I'll contact the tor-arm people!

Thanks.

Thanks Tristan. I'll try with a network cable instead and see if it makes a difference in the tor-arm logs. I'll also monitor the connectivity with a frequent logged ping. And I'll contact the tor-arm guys if the problem is indeed with tor-arm and not with my connection!

I also have a relay running on Raspberry Pi B+. Not overclocked, connected directly via ethernet, capped at 200 KBytes bursting to 250 KBytes.

Tor is logging heartbeats just fine, and I haven't seen any unresponsive messages from arm.

It seems to me that arm just isn't keeping up with the logs from Tor. Honestly, if the Tor logs aren't reporting an error, I'd say you're fine. Arm is just an add-on. Maybe it just isn't keeping up with the logs, so it thinks the relay is unresponsive.

Hi All!

Running a TOR relay on a Raspberry Pi B+, not overclocked, over WiFi, running Raspbian.
TOR is capped at
   RelayBandwidthRate 1000 KBytes
      and
   RelayBandwidthBurst 1500 KBytes

While my /var/log/tor/log suggests that all is fine, my tor-arm logs suggest otherwise. See some copy/paste from logs below.

Is something wrong with my setup? If there's indeed a loss of connectivity every hour or so, should I refrain from running this relay altogether? I haven't tried to connect the Raspberry Pi directly with a network cable, I could try that.

Thanks!
