Electrs not finishing hashes

Server is running on AWS - m5a.xlarge, 4 CPU, 16GB RAM, SSD 1000GB; OS - Ubuntu 18, installed bitcoin core, run it as bitcoind -daemon

GIT pulled Blockstream Electrs, switched to branch, started the cargo with cargo run --release --bin electrs -- -vvvv --daemon-dir ~/.bitcoin --http-addr 0.0.0.0:3001

Electrs was doing hashes for a long-long time, and once I experienced Ubuntu’s error ‘too many files open’, but fixed it successfully. Now, the last time I launched, Electrs wrote me to console:

TRACE - skipping block 00000000000000d41e5497f984517d27afcd85dad80277e7b7856418a72c7f69

And that’s it. Nothing happens for more then an hour. I thought - “That’s it, everything works!”. Tried to make HTTP requests to server from internet (AWS SGs allow access to 3001 port) and from CLI to localhost itself, but receive this:

ubuntu@ip-172-61-11-224:~/electrs$ curl http://localhost:3001/blocks/tip/height
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 3001: Connection refused

And, BTW, when Electrs run, it starts some stats server on port :4224. When I do a request to localhost:4224 I receive some data, that means that this part of Electrs works, but not the Electrs itself.

I’ve made everything by instruction, step by step. I receive no errors. What else have I forgot?

@shesek I used an HDD before.

I will try agin with an SDD. Thank you.

@shesek When you say that the second stage reads heavily do you mean that it reads heavily from the block .dat files or from /txstore?
